Hello, firstly just wanted to say thanks to you all for posting your helpful info on the website, it really does help!!!
But unfortunately im stuck and could use some help/advice/tutorial please.
I have a HTC One V that is bought from Carphone Warehouse UK, and isnt sim locked.
I rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and then put on stock Vanilla ICS, although in the process i was at a point where the phone was sticking on the HTC screen.
Eventually i got it to go past that and now i have Vanilla ICS on there (I THINK!!)
But my problem now is i cannot use three finger swipe to pair to my Media Link HD, or even pair to it at all
And i use my media link a lot.
Basically i want one of 3 things really, and im hoping someone can help me out
1) Stay on Vanilla ICS and get my phone paired to my Media Link HD
2) Get another ROM that doesnt have HTC Sense (which was why i put Vanilla ICS on the handset) but will still pair up to my Media Link HD
3) Revert back to stock rom
Oh, i also used CID Getter to get this info from the handset, although i dont know what it means ive just read somewhere its useful:
20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.18_M
And my last thing, if this is in the wrong place i apologize in advance, if you could point me in the right direction
Thanks
James

This goes in Q&A, but to answer your question media link is a Sense feature. You would need to be on a stock rom to use it.

Look for my signature to return to stock.
Also if you vant Vanilla, you can install Apex or Nova launcher into the stock ROM. Not the same, but almost.
From the line you inserted (baseband version)I think your device is a WWE europe at the version of 2.08.401.2, but CID will be better.
For the ruu go to development and search for the stock roms thread (link here).

do you have the latest version of htc sync?? older ones dont work with froyo
can someone please post a link to it. in my country HTC only has 2.1 so i cant find the link. the one on the htc website is for 2.1
If you live in the US (or want to download the version that is relevant to your country then change your location at the top of the screen and go to Support and you will find the download links for HTC Sync.
HTC Sync 3.0 is the one you want and it works with Android 2.1 and above except the special version of HTC sync for tattoo, magic and hero, that version has (1.5) next to it so it won't work on your phone.
edit: oh btw, the website might ask you to enter in your phone's serial number in order to download the file. it will tell you where to locate the number on your phone.
I tried to re install it and didn't fix it it syncs for about 2 mins then cancels itself. any ideas? i am using the 3.0 software
Hello, i'm quite new to the android system. I've browsed through quite some of the threads, and there are somethings i dont quite understand..
Please help me address them.
What is the difference between a telus desire HD and a htc desire hd? Are they the same?
How do i check if my phone version is eligible for rooting ?
What is a ROM ?
They are not the same.
Telus Desire HD is from Canada.
Both the Telus Desire HD and European Desire HD can be rooted.
A ROM is a essentially a customized version of Android that differs from the stock ROM that comes with your phone.
Heres a tip, do a search for Telus in Q&A and in Development section and you'll find most, if not all your answers after this.
Okay..
So how do i know if mine is a telus or not?
I got my phone in Singapore. Any way to check ?
Thanks for the ROM info btw.
I'll bite.
Telus is a service provider. Like Rogers, Bell, Orange, etc. If you got your phone from Singapore, there's no possible way for it to be a Telus phone unless the person you bought it from imported the DHD from Canada and sold it back to you.
as someone had mentioned, telus DHD is from canada. yours definitely is the general htc set.
Alright.. So is there any way to root a general htc DHD ?
I want to root it so bad.
You need to learn how to read stickies and guides on a forum. I bet you came right in here expecting answers without reading. Am i correct?
The telus version is hspa and is more like the inspire 4g

For your info, i did read up. I just dont understand the terms that are used. There are so many things, and as i said, i'm really new to android phone and system.. And i'm not really a technical guy, so i really need help from you guys.
Please bear with me, i'm trying real hard to understand what you guys are posting. And of course, i wouldn't wanna put my phone at risk if i dont know anything about it right ?
So yeah..
And thanks for the " Spoon feed " Gouki. Appreciate it. Will definitely read up on it.
So, another question, what do custom ROMs do to your phone ? How does it differ from the original ROM ?
Different dev create different ROMs.
Cosmetics like splash, bootup, bootdown.
Sense or no-sense,
different Overclock speed/capability.
And some have different apps. (Modaco with Wavesecure).
Etc...
Okay, i read the forum about putting a new ROM into your phone.
In order for me to do that, must i root my phone ?
Can the general DHD be rooted ?
Yes and yes.... the beauty of Android is the ability to mess around with the software. TUnfortunately messing up and learning for yourself goes hand in hand with it.
AWESOME. Thanks alot cue. You've been a great help.
Now... im going to check how im going to root my phone. Still kinda worried about what will happen to my phone if i do it wrongly.
My phone, is, REALLY, REALLY slow. Like seriously.
Oh yes, how do i check my phone version so that i can see if i need to downgrade it ?
And, can http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954997 this be used to help me root and flash a new ROM ? Will there be any difference in the rooting procedure ?
As said, if you got your phone from Singapore then it shouldn't be a Telus DHD.
You can check your version from Settings —> About Phone —> Firmware Version.
If you have a higher version than 1.32.405.6 you need to downgrade. Instructions can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
After that you can use this guide to root and flash whatever you want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
This info isn't so hard to find...

Hi there XDA, I've asked a similar question to this before, however since then some things have changed and it's got me wondering, what the hell is going on over at HTC with these software build numbers?
I recently aquired a replacement phone from Orange UK for a Desire HD. The software version on the phone I sent to them was 1.32, however the phone I recieved was running a software version of 1.72, I know for a fact that when I sent that phone to them, there were no updates available, and the thing is, it's a door to door thing. Both handsets are exactly the same, they are both de-branded yet have an Orange logo on the back.
It's sorta fustrating because I know that one of these builds i clearly the one I should have, but I don't know which is which, would someone be kind enough to explain and point me in the right direction of the ROM i should flash? Thanks, and btw im in the UK.

If you want to root etc it would be easier on the 1.32 version but is still easy to do on the 1.72 version, you just use a different approach.
All the answers you need are in the development forum. Don't need to put a link here for you, it's not hard to find. Alternatively, use the link in my sig.
What ROM you SHOULD flash is up to YOU. YOU decide what one YOU like the most.

Didn't really want a sarcastic approach to this but ok :/ I heard that the 1.72 update was pulled, I don't want a rooted phone, I want the most upto date possible...

Then be happy. The phone you got back is more up to date then the one you sent off.

Your in luck, if you do not want to root, and have a unbranded handset you can have official HTC Gingerbread. An HTC RUU with the upcoming 2.3 release was leaked.
Check THIS thread and download the RUU.exe
Hi,
I rooted my HTC One V and deleted some bloatware (flickr, ebay etc.) and now, even after relocking my phone and resetting it to factory settings, I can no longer install software updates because I'm missing these stock apps. From what I understand I have to reflash my phone with a rom that matches the cid for my phone (O2__001), is that correct? Am I right in thinking that I'm looking for a UK O2 shipped rom (x.xx.207.x)? If so, does anyone know where I might find one? I've searched everywhere (including this forum) and cannot find anything suitable.
I realise that it's my own fault for not making a proper back-up (lesson learnt!) but I'd be really appreciative of any help.
Thanks

I have found the sourcecode for the build on the htcdev website. Is it a bad idea to try and compile the rom myself (baring in mind that I'm obviously total noob when it comes to Android, but have quite a bit of experience running linux)? Does anyone have any advice about this?

hello guys, im a happy new member of the desire community .
I have came from a Sony Ericsson Xperia x8, which i a little different in terms of modding your roms and radios... I have looked around the threads for a while now and not really found anything what answers my question, so sorry if there maybe a duplicate don't burn me if there is i have tried.
I know how to root my phone and the recovery installation as i had an old HTC wildfire what i broke but am not familiar with unlocking and flashing bootloaders hence why i need your help.
But i would like some help or answers regarding my HTC so here we go...
Well first of all the HTC is locked onto the orange network, i am currently on three so how could i get my phone unlocked... possibly free?
Also when i get my HTC unlocked if i flash things like new radios, roms, bootloaders ETC... will my phone remain unlocked or become locked again?
Also what is the first rom i should try out? I would want a fast one whats stable but maybe perhaps android 4.0 or above, can you guys give me some suggestions please thanks.
Ps: Sorry for the wall of text i want to make sure i get things right and don't brick my phone in the process of unlocking. :fingers-crossed:
Hey m8. Welcome I'm also new, but for our needs this page is the best, therefore i highly recommend to read this both threads, i flashed a custom ROM yesterday, so I'm very new in this, too xD
