[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

Which RUU is mine?

Hello all, I've decided to root my T-mobile Froyo Desire at last.
I'm gonna use unrevoked using windows or maybe linux
and plan to install the LeeDroid ROM.
I understand I have to back up my RUU but don't know which one is mine.
Checked the shipped ROMs page
PHP:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
and found 3 similar to mine. Which is the right one?
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_TELUS_WWE_2.25.661.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151557_signed.exe

thanks

I think it is this - RUU_Bravo_Froyo_TMO_AT_2.12.112.1_Radio_32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2_release_143754_signed.exe
TMO probably stands for T mobile and the the build is pretty close, 2.12.110 ~ 2.12.112.1
Let someone correct me if I am wrong .

Thanks 3722
No further replies so I'm gonna have to assume you're right.

That isn't the right one, your RUU isn't available yet...the only ones available are:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...io_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122755.exe
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe

O...
So does that mean its unwise for me to root if my RUU isn't out?
If the 2 ones you've linked are the only ones around am I still OK to root and
not have problems with warranty?
Which one of the 2 is the correct one?
thanks

I wouldn't yet as you've likely got an SLCD screen and those 2 RUUs are for AMOLED only...

So I can't root without the safety net of the backup RUU?
I really need to root and make more space on internal memory using app2sd+
since the froyo version isn't good enough.
Such a shame that I'm now limited in the number of apps I install
thanks for the help anyway guys.

RUU updated?
Bumping my post from November just in case....
I noticed some updated RUUs on http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/
So wondering if any are now the right ones for my desire so I can finally
root the phone and have a backup for the warranty?

I'm in the same. Boat but decided to root anyway. Just use a wwe one if you really have to i doubt they will make a fuss Or do what I did albeit it was by accident, flash the amoled ruu which will kill the screen and report a screen issue along with whatever issue you have. Risky but worked for me once. Hope i don't need to send it off again

there are still no uk tmobile leaked RUU's
its a risk you take

Suppose I'll just do as BashyUK I think.
Had the phone for a while now and unable to install all the apps
I'd like due to the low memory crap.

Couple of original RUU files needed.

Hi
My phone was bought from O2 last year and came supplied with 2.1
Since then I flashed it with a stock 2.2, now I'm looking to root etc so would like to have a RUU just in case.
Can anyone point me to the standard O2 2.1 & 2.2 RUU files ?
Also anyone got this RUU ( this is what I'm currently running ) :

Thanks

Why would you need the originals? Simple make a backup of the stock you're running now and you'll be fine. As soon as you root you'll loose warrenty anyway.
I'm running the Reflex Rom with the modified hboot - runs great!

I should had sent you here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/

See your other post in ROM Development - I've posted it in there (2.29.405.5 is newer than yours so is needed instead of 2.29.405.2)
For reference, you don't have an o2 Desire but an unbranded Desire - if it was an o2 unit the software version would be x.xx.207.x
EDIT: This is a question and, as such, should be in the Q&A section

not having an o2 (or any) branded phone is normally a good thing in my opinion
2.29.405.5 is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869048

Turns out (s)he debranded going by their other thread.
To the OP - you don't need the 2.1 RUU as I've linked to the 2.2 one in your other thread

The RUU restore everything, after that you can get warranty again!

Thanks for all the replies.
Yes it an unbranded Desire..
I want the original O2 RUU just incase I had an issue and my goldcard failed !!
Just need to decide on CM7 or GingerVillian and suggestions are welcome.

It's actually DEbranded - if it was unbranded you wouldn't need a gold card to flash an unbranded RUU

rooted fine.
Thanks

Need help with my dhd

Hey, as you'll all notice I'm a complete newbie to all this and could do with some help.
I have a branded DHD (t-mobile UK) and would like to know of a beginner's guide on how to get Sense 3.0 and Android 2.3.5? As I'm still waiting on T-Mobile releasing their version of the updates and tbh I've waited far too long now as my friends who are on other networks had their OTA update months ago. My warranty has ran out (i think) so I've decided after reading a few threads on here that rooting is for me.
Also, could someone confirm my software is branded, if you can...
Android 2.3.3
Sense 3.0
Baseband 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Build No. 2.50.110.5.CL123205
Software No. 2.50.110.5
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance

if your going to root it anyways shouldent matter if its brandet
i cant see out from your info if it is or not only what version android and radio you use...
here is a good guide if your going to root it

Forgot to include kernel ver: 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb [email protected]#1

Best thing to do is to unbrand your phone and then update it to 2.3.5. Done that with my Branded DHD on ThreeUK, worked like a charm. Ill post on how to unbrand soon

[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
