Did you try to flash with official RUU ?

Yes, when i try install the original RUU gives I connection error
mr. winterbottom

Who's your provider? I've flashed the Rom you're talking about and it is for the GSM/WCDMA Desire. When you say you now have CDMA, are you talking about WCDMA? Did you check your APN settings? Which RUU did you try?

My provider is o2 (germany) GSM the RUU is the original by o2.
I make the goldcard in my desire and try install the original RUU. No chance
The APN is correct !
The SDcard is correct in desire
I can't change "load" - "card" on my desire.
In system control > device manager gives i "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" and this is wrong!!!

There is no way the rom you pointed to is cdma. Ive got it on mine right now with the camera patch.
Whats "system control" ?
What did the phone do after you flashed the rom and booted it?

You're talking out of your arse my friend, you can't be on a CDMA phone as you are still logging onto o2 which isn't a CDMA provider...it's physically impossible
The HD ROM is ported from the GSM Desire HD (there's no CDMA variant) so something else is wrong

Did you do a google search 1st for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM as its a company name of what im presuming supplies the 3G chip set http://www.qualcomm.com/qct/
Has the functioning of your desire changed at all? What do you mean u cant change "load" "card" on your desire? Do you mean it wont recognize your SD card anymore?

morning,
my Desire is not full functioning !!!
telephony - NO (provider is enable but make not a connection)
USB not available (i can't select the dialog "USB device" or "only loading")
I've make the USB brick from MoDaCo. No result
When i make root with the r6 (goldcard) MoDaCo get i the message "FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail)"
when i plug in my Desire get i "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" driver not found in windows 7 and in ubuntu is no reaction as USB device.
mr. winterbottom

That isn't the ROMs fault but something else you've done - as said before I'm using the ROM and I've got no issues...
A quick Google search shows 'Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM' as being something to do with ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center so I'd imagine it's a modem of some description? It's not because the phone has changed to CDMA. Most threads coming back from Google suggest it's something to do with Windows Mobile

hi,
but where is my USB device this dead no connection - no root - no adb - .....
neither in windows nor in linux
i will yet crazy
mr. winterbottom

Who knows, sounds like the USB brick...what ROM was your phone running on when you first got it?

my first root rom was DeFroST NO PROBLEMS thousandfold updated.
i use the RCMixHD with HTCCamera.apk and end is the story. my desire is dead boing.
since that time comes the message in windows7 Qualcomm ..........
i want back my USB :-(
mr. winterbottom

I meant which stock ROM was on the Desire when you first purchased it?

ah ok
the frist was "o2 germany android 2.1" amoled with HBOOT 0.80
i don't no the build number : -(
mr. winterbottom

Hmmm, can't say I've seen any o2 DE RUUs about. Without it it'll be harder to get things working. Have you got a gold card made up? If so, you could try downloading the latest PB99IMG.zip off of shipped-roms.com (the 2.29.405.2 one) and see if you can flash that via HBOOT
Other than that it might be a dead phone

now have i

mr. winterbottom

Well that's the last unbranded FroYo ROM - is that all working at the moment but no USB?

no, in moment have i update original unroot android 2.2 without USB.
USB is dead
mr. winterbottom

Then I can't help you I'm afraid
You might have to send it back to HTC. I take it you've used this guide to try and fix it?

HTC Desire SIM-Unlock Utility

SIM-Unlock Utility v0.9.5
As being pointed out by more and more users regarding scamms, I have to clarify:
THIS APP IS FREEWARE! DO NOT TRUST ANY EBAY/WHATEVER-SITE SELLER!
If you've been asked money and you paid for it, try to get a refund by mailing both Ebay/Paypal/middleman and get them shut down.
This is the only site I endorse!
Commercial use is forbidden!
​
The summer holiday brought me some more time, so I decided to update the tool. The latest version works on Windows, takes ~30 seconds and the rate of success is greatly improved (we'll see about that.. ). Forget about iso and burning. This is still only for Desire (HTC Bravo),though..
Please note! By using the windows version of the app, you ar not required to boot your phone into HBOOT, it will take care of it by itself.
​Old stuff (previous versions, linux only):Burn the iso, boot it, power up your phone into HBOOT by pressing both Vol-Down and Power and follow the instructions.
Post your experiences here for further development. The app doesn't require root or s-off and should work on any hboot and radio version. (it has been tested so far with HBOOT up to 0.93.1000 and RADIO up to 5.14.05.17).
It's based on some vulnerabilities and undocumented features, so disclosing them would mean the greater the chance of them being corrected.
I've only tested it on Desire GSM and I do not recommend using it on CDMA devices; doing otherwise could lead to unpredictable results.​
Download link:
Windows version: HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.9.5.rar
Bootable linux cd (obsolete!): HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.2a.iso
If you like free software and find this tool useful, Paypal me a beer, it helps development a lot..
Changelog:
v0.9.5 - beta version; added debugging info that help future updates; reads Sensation HT** unlock code; not tested, might not work at all..
v0.9.4 – better connectivity with the phone; I actually didn’t test it because my USB socket (phone side) has a hardware problem (due to multiple plug ins/outs) and allows only charging. If you test it and it works, please report back!
v0.9.2 - If you have problems connecting with the phone, simply boot your Desire in Hboot menu (Vol-Down + power), connect to computer via usb cable and wait for the menu title to change to HBOOT USB PLUG; only and only then should you start the app; it might work this way for some of you.
v0.9.1 - dealt with Unable to load function(s) error.
v0.9 - major changes; windows version; different approach;
v0.2a - trying to reduce the number of false positives; the phone should restart if everything's ok. If it doesn't, start over again until it does.

Can I just kiss whoever posted this? You're a star. I know nothing about phones other than how to use them but I followed the instructions and have successfully unlocked my phone.I was so scared I was going to kill it but it worked first time! The s thing was on if that helps but I'm so sorry I forgot to write the other things down. You've saved me 30 pounds which is what my local phone shop wanted to charge me and I'm so happy as I can now get rid of my horrid orange and use giffgaff instead.

Thank You very much! Work like a charm.

I am not sure if this is a daft question or not!
If i unlock my desire this way, does this give me the ability to install any ota updates without the use of a goldcard, rather than having to wait for my network provider to 'doctor' them before i am able to install?

No, this is for SIM unlock

Unlock allows you to use your sim card with another network provider...
in order to install other ROM's or get updates from HTC(which might never come) you need to ROOT and install a custom rom.

Hi.
Does the phone need to be rooted for this to work?
Thanks

Which RUU i Need??

Plz solve my problem
i have unrooted Desire purchased from my UK friend
PVT1 S-off
Radio: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
ROM: HTC sense 2.2
Bootloader: 0.93.0001
my phone has no apps of Vodafone even normal HTC quietly brilliant Boot animation
but last time when i updated it showed OTA update of
RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27....
when it was on 2.1 eclair there was Vodafone theme ( menu<Scene<HTc Scen
This means my phone Is Branded???
is there is any other way to check that my phone is branded or not??
Does i have to make a gold card??
Which RUU i needed so that when some thing happen wrong during Installing Custom Rom i can revert back to original Rom???

To check if your phone is branded:
Get android system info from market. Start it>system>build infos>brand.
Yes, you can go back to original rom. Just flash latest fitting ruu. You need a goldcard to avoid cid error when flashing ruu.
Swyped from Oxygen

Thanks for helping bro.
Downloaded Android sysyem info in
Brand it says "Vodafone_uk"
For Current Rom which RUU should i use Can u link here ???
how can i install WWE (world wide...)

signed.exe version of Rom so that i get latest GB update by HTC in future

First create goldcard:

I think i must update my knowledge about phones as i am a little behind (ok. i admit it... a lot behind).
And a small thing. unrevoked3 does the rooting and S-OFF so in the tutorial here :

Unrevoked does the rooting, alpharev does the s-off. All steps described in this tutorial might be old, but they still work.

Desire showing "Limited Service" after Unlock

Phone was 2.2 (Froyo) Locked to Orange/EE HBoot 0.93.0000
I unlocked desire using this guide:
http://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Blog/Unlock-HTC-Desire-Free/ba-p/3185757
However, afterwards it was showing No Sim or Limited Service on any SIM card.
So I Upgraded the phone using the 2.3 Upgrade HBoot 1.02.0001.
Now it recognises and works with an Organe/EE sim after about 5 mins of being left, but when i reboot the phone, it shows No Sim.
With Any Other SIM it just shows "Limited Service".
I still have full functionality and can access HBoot.
Any Advice Please
Thanks

What ROM did you use to upgrade to 2.3?
It might be good to upgrade your radio firmware.

I used HTCs own 2.3 Upgrade which they gave out for everyone.. Its the one that debrands the phone. I got it from:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
Scroll down, its the Last one in the list, the phone isnt broken.. it works fine but it seems as if its only half unlocked and the person only gave half the instructions.
My Info is:
HBoot 1.02.0001
Version 2.3.3 / BaseBand V: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 / Kernel: 2.6.35.10 / Build: 3.14.405.1.
Which Radio version should I flash?. I dont mind flashing the Radio back to Orange/EE and ill just pay to Unlock it
Thanks

You cannot re-lock the phone.
And you already have the latest radio. You could try flashing it again through fastboot, but i don't think it will do anything.
Try running the unlock tool again. Maybe something will get fixed.

Tried that and it didnt work.. after reading through the comments section of that website.. it looks as if it shouldve been rooted through revolutionary. The worst of this is.. its not even my phone.. its my nephews, which is great.. anyone got any suggestions at all.
I have downloaded the "WWE 2.29.405.8".. I wonder if mayberooting and going back a radio might help.. any ideas.

From what I can see, everything about this device screams Verizon, a US carrier. Even though it is S-OFF and has SuperCID. What I suggest you try is:
Make a Nandroid backup of your current setup. Once this is backed up, remove it from the device to a safe place on your PC.
Download and flash the stock Verizon RUU file from here: I suggest the .exe version as it will be a simple process. If you are confident enough, then the .zip version. Read the thread, read ALL the instructions BEFORE you start.

I'm sorry if you cannot understand what I'm saying. The information you posted points to the device having Verizon firmware and operating system. The device was modified before you took possession of it, you have S-OFF, SuperCID though you say you are not rooted. That may be. You just have to sit down and start reading. Use the search function in XDA and search by "keyword" what you are looking for. Only when you understand the basics will you be able to go further.

Now what should i do first ? Root my phone

To make a Nandroid backup you need to root the phone and then flash TWRP recovery. Follow this thread. You're already S-OFF so that part can be skipped.

Forget about those. Follow the thread. If you are not willing to follow basic instructions, you will brick your device. Follow the thread for root as it describes in the thread. Then flash the correct version of TWRP recovery. Stop being so impatient. You MUST follow the instructions or you will brick.

Ok sorry ill follow the thread but somethings in the rooting procedure are unclear thats y i asked about the alternative

I agree with Einwod, the product name "M8_WLV" in bootloader means its the Verizon version; and the OS number in bootloader (3.28.605.4) also backs this up.
The Verizon version M8 does support GSM (and GSM SIMs), is SIM unlocked out of the box; but also supports CDMA.
The software number in Settings (3.31.512.2) is related to the current ROM. This number appears to be the software number for the LRA version M8. Which I'm not too familiar with, but Googling around, it appears this is for the "LTE for Rural Areas" network, which is basically just a subsidiary of Verizon. My guess is, that the previous owner flashed the LRA ROM in order to remove Verizon branding in the software (or maybe they just removed any Verizon branding manually).
Also, the lack of Verizon logo on the back of the phone means nothing. We've seen a few devices on the forum here that have had their backplates replaced, causing confusion as to what version they are.

Again, I agree with Einwod, while you may not have rooted the phone, it was absolutely modified. The previous owner did s-off and SuperCID to the phone, and changed the ROM.
Where did you get this phone? If the seller claimed it to be the GSM version (non-Verizon or Sprint) and never rooted, those claims were false. Unrooted maybe (returned to a non-root condition). But it was definitely rooted at one time, made s-off, and custom ROM installed.

I am afraid that flashing a new rom would effect the sim functioning etc . My phone was imported from taiwan
