Good morning,
Is there anyone one in the DC metro are who has downgraded their bootloader and is willing to downgrade mine for a fee? I have an HD7 w/ 5.12.xxx bootloader and have been struggling to get it working.
Thanks!

if i debrand my uk tmobile desire with a goldcard and a 1.21etc ruu, will it network lock me?
hearing conflicting reports on this.
just going to debrand today if possible, so i can get OTA 2.2. not interested in custom roms or root at all.
I just debranded my T-Mobile Desire with RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.
No problems. Should have backed up my settings and data, because installing the ROM will clear everything, but it's worth it just to get 2.2.
After that froyo showed up when pressing check for updates.
I debranded my phone from orange.
My network got locked. However, I just need to pay 7.99 GBP to buy a code from an Ebayer and I got the phone unlocked in 5 mins.
So i think it is not a problem to debrand.
Are you guys able to upgrade to FroYo now? I'll be debranding and installing a debranded 2.1 when I get home.

Yes. Already installed and using it now! =D
Guys, My Desire is a standard Voda unlocked one, unrooted and I have thankfully NOT downloaded the latest bloatware from VF. I'm going to the USA and Canada this weekend and I want to know if:
1. It's possible that I may offered the chance to update to 2.2 when I'm on an overseas network (using wifi)
2. Should I do it if the offer is there - is there any risk of the phone not working with VF when I get back to the UK?
Root your phone using UnrEVOked, and then apply a rooted 2.2 update manually.
Given that the new hboot from the OTA is currently unrootable, it will give you so many more options down the line.
Regards,
Dave
I don't really want to root to be honest. I'd like to try and stay with all the official updates as I don't feel comfortable doing this to my phone in case I screw it up!
Anyone help with the original question?
If i had a dhd locked & branded to 3 network (2.2.1), & i just wanted to get rid of the locking & branding but keep everything else the same (warranty not a concern), could i simply run the RUU on it?
PS - see '[Q] A little help gents, or else ill loose it lol' thread.
Nope, you have to follow my downgrade guide, and then use my radio tool to get rid of sim lock.

Hi.
I'm new to android, and i am being forced to learn as my wife has just bought a desire hd.
Unfortunately it is simlocked to t-mobile in the uk.
In my quest to unlock it i stumbled on this thread and software http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180639&highlight=umt
Now i half understand most of the terms after researching the internet.
All i really need to do is simunlock the phone, but i amm unsure if this will allow software updates in the standard phone way?
Halfway through the thread i found that to do the simunlock function you need to downgrade then root. I am taking this to mean downgrade android version, to allow use of the vaulnerability of the old version? Is there a downside to this?
Rooting... if i gain root access through the listed method can I leave the stock ROM on there or will it be the downgraded version i used to unlock it?
Once i have downgraded and sim unlocked can I upgrade again without using a custom rom through the phones normal software?
What are the benefits of doing the radio S-Off, and ENG s--off functions and are there any drawbacks?
The wife really wants to have a standard phone that works like a standard one that can receive updates.
I know i'm probably better off just buying a imei based simunlock code, if that is the case can anyone recomend a uk service? I'd still be interested in the answers to the questions for my phone upgrade time.
Thanks.
Downgrade, temp root, run the radio, super cid, sim unlock tool and you'll be sim unlocked and can still install ota firmware.

But who wants stock HTC? Go the whole hog and install Virtuous Unity. The difference is staggering

+1, you don't need to install a custom ROM, and if you run an orange RUU you will be able to install OTA updates without any problems. If it where your phone I recommend the custom ROM route but with your better halfs phone your probably better off sticking with stock
I'm on EE using LTE, I am currently running 4.1.2. This means that the 4th option in the menu that you use to unlock is missing. I heard that you can downgrade the radio and unlock.
I already rooted and flashed cwm recovery. Which radio do I get? And should I, once I unlock it update the radio again? Which radio do I go back to?
Thanks guys
