New firmware coming to Orange Desire

Hey,
Would any of you know when the 2.29.xx firmware will be available for the htc desire with orange rom??
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

going on their performance on releasing updates in the past...about 2011...maybe.
You can contact orange customer services and ask, but they'll just lie to you.
I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you

Ok, so would i benefit from rooting this phone and putting a official debranded desire rom?

Possibly, but what benefits do you expect?
The problem with being on orange branded is that there's no way to get back to an orange stock rom after rooting.
This would possibly affect any warranty claims so it is a risk.....

You can root then use nandbackup so if you want to go back you can restore to orange rom.
I forget to backup mine but never regretted as I have using stock roms.

but once its rooted that effects the warranty and you'll be liable to pay for any repairs.

you are correct.
i have tried before to restore an orange nand and then apply the latest OTA over the top to try and get it unrooted but i haven't got it to work...
i may try again.
in the meanwhile, we'll just have to hope an RUU becomes available.

You can get back to fully unrooted stock orange rom I helped make a guide somewhere in the dev section. It is takes a lot longer than an ruu but it's possible.

But you still end up with the superuser icon in the menu.

No you don't you remove the superuser icon when you have root you can use adb to remove the icon and other stuff rooting adds to your phone

ste,
i've tried the process you did a number of time.
i think it only worked on an AMOLED Desire (0n 2.1).
i've tried with a Froyo orange nand and tried to flash the latest OTA over it to get rid of root but it just bootloops.
dont know if there's anything else that could be tried....
i dont actually need to go back to orange stock but it would be nice to know if theres a way.

Yea the backup is from my phone which is amoled. I dont know if flashing the 2.2 update will let slcd screens be used. To get out of bootloop flash tge update twice. Once removes clockwork mod recovery. The 2nd time the update will be flashed on stock recovery and you should be out of bootloop

stock/rooted rom?

can anybody tell me what the latest OTA/stock/rooted rom is and point me in the right direction.

I see someone must have made the swap

we will be but im helping the guy find the latest ota thats rooted. the only one i see was pulled from here.

if your already s off I believe this is what your looking for http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...gingerbread-update-for-htc-incredible-2-leak/

or if your looking to go back to non rooted stock http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...8-605-4-same-as-the-official-gingerbread-ota/ this was can be flashed if your s-on it is signed official gb unrooted

you guys officially got gingerbread right? or not yet? looking through the rom you linked i do not see superuser app in system/app at all. the guys dinc2 is already rooted with s-off. i just wanted it back to stock/rooted when i get it for activation.

yeah we got official. If I was u I would run the nonrooted ruu and have a fresh start you can root it very easily with revolutionary anyway. and if you run the official ruu it will give you a totally clean slate and get all his temp files and other junk off of it

If you're running a custom ROM you won't receive the OTA notification but you could always just download it manually.

The ROM needs to have the updater apk stripped out for it not to work afaik?

Means if I'm using affinity I wont receive ota update,I know. What I means was can I just flash that official Rom with clockwork mod?after flashing back to official Rom I know I lost root and s on back. So will it receive ota notification if I flash the official Rom? I'm abit confuse >< srry I'm bad in this...

it´s not that easy to return to stock... the best thing you can do is follow the wiki for rooting. the wiki also descripes a way to return to stock (means reinstall official recovery, s-on and remove superCID)
here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision
and if you are waiting for a update to 4.0 ICS you better stay rooted and use customs roms
EDIT: in my country updates are recieved through carrier, so i think it´s important to have the original carrier firmware and CID to recieve ota updates

Thx a lot hoffmas!=) well,how can you be so sure desire z would get ics? And if I flash virtuous affinity v1.4.6,then I want to update it to version 1.4.8. Do I have to factory reset and wipe everything in order to update to v1.4.8? I can use the virtuous unity v9 kernel right?? I know its stupid question..hope someone can help me with it =/

the desire z will probably get a update to ics and if so you will see a thread on xda with the stock rom to flash without loosing root but for sure cyanogen is going to be faster
wiping is always a good idea. best thing is to use superwipe and the wipe options in the recovery (system/data/cache)
here is a link for the superwipe (flash it through recovery):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044992
you can use unity v9 (flash it after first time booting), but unity v10 kernel is included in virtuous affinity 1.48
pls use the thanks button if my posting helped you

Thx, but the unroot part is so complicated,instead of using that wiki, can I use this guide?
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-unroot-t-mobile-g2-htc-desire-z-complete-guide/

Sure there are different ways to return to stock, but i only post links to guides i used myself (so i know they work)
So maybe someone else knows, if the guide you posted works...
Actually the wiki looks complicated, but it isn't. It's a step by step guide and what is most important: it is a safe way

About the super wipe,I should flash those 3 zip once I have root on stock rom?

No, you have to choose one .zip and flash it through recovery after you rooted an installed a custom recovery....
So if you want to install virtuous affinity use superwipe before flashing affinity (after using superwipe you have to install a new rom, because the old one is gone)
You are sure you know what you are doing? Do some researching before you start to root your device... Rooting means you can brick your phone.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169004 can i just flash the 1st ota rom (only root and busybox added)? then check for future ota updates?

i don´t think you will recieve future ota updates using this rom... but roms like that one are the reason for me to say, that there is no point once you are rooted to wait for ota updates
official updates do come from your carrier and so its important to have the original CID and carrier firmware, as i mentioned already.
another hit on the thanks button would be appreciated

I know wat do know what root means,I rooted wildfire and flash custom Rom before..but I don't plan to reverse back to stock since I already know they will be no future update..but for my desire z..is just that I'm impatient of waiting the ota...so maybe have a try on affinity,but I can't flash the official ota Rom (2.3.3 and sense 2.1) to return everything stock right? I know..kinda dumb of me,forgive me on my stupidity >~<

no i don´t think so... but maybe i am wrong. As i returned to stock for warranty, i did everything as written in the wiki guide and because i didn´t find the original vodafone firmware i did not recieve ota updates (even with original recovery, simlock and CID restore)
but i´m not a dev... maybe i´m completly wrong

If I'm grasping this correctly, you are worried that you won't receive OTA after rooting and flashing? I'm curious as to what OTA you are waiting for and what it has that other ROMs don't? (Honest question, I think the Z's had a few more updates than G2)
Not knowing aside, i'd say root it, flash what you want, and only return to stock if needed for warranty. Chances are you're going to find more support from the community here than with the manufacturer.

Exactly! Well,wat I'm worrying was after I root and flashed then, the official ota (maybe sense 3.0) roll out then I will be stuck at root =/ I knw root I can do a lot of stuff..but idk y my mind just like stock =/ if the sense 3.0 of the future update can have horizontal home screen I will get it..

I don't know truthfully. My guess is that any update that WOULD come out would then immediately be ripped apart by the community and made better anyways. There are already quite a few ROMs with Sense 2.1/3.0 features, 3.5, etc, and ports from other phones that support landscape mode (a mt4g ROM if I recall).
You can always return to stock, though I don't think you'd ever want to. ;-)

[Q] Rooting HTC One VX

Can someone tell me how to root an HTC One VX. I have been all over the Internet looking and have found several sites but the issue is that the root package file does not download. When clicking on the root package it goes to a website and then it does not display anything because the page times out. Does anyone have the root package?

I cannot get it to root for anything which really sucks because i wanna install a custome rom:crying:

Check JMZ's root method in one VX development or original development can't remember which one it's in. I am full rooted running JMZ's custom rom. Not on computer so can't post link. Just look around its there

htc dev unlock, then you can do fastboot flash recovery (custom recovery) once got custom recovery you can either flash JMZ custom rom, JB rom, or Flash the SU.zip and keep it stock with root

[Q] My wife's One V keeps freezing UP

Hi my wife has a One V with stock everything. It keeps freezing up and takes up to 1 minute just to open a new text message.
The phone has never been rooted or modified in any way.
I tried rebooting it, doesn't change anything. She does not have many apps installed at all from the market, maybe 1 or 2.
The way I fixed it last time was back up all of her sms and call log and setting and I did a factory reset.
This solved the problem but the phone was slowing getting worse and worse and now it is almost impossible to use it.
Is this a know issue? Is there an easy fix for it? Or maybe the only option is to root and install a custom rom for her.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

I do indeed give you the advice to install a custom rom. This is a known issue with the stock rom.

Great I had a feeling it was ROM related. Since I have no experience with One V, can anyone suggest a good how to guide to unlocking boot loader, and rooting, and installing CWMR on this phone. Every device is different so it is like leaning all over again for each phone.
oh yeah any rom suggestions? Not sure if I should give her a stock based sense rom or AOSP / CM. Personally I love AOSP Jelly Bean 4.2 on my S2 because I hate Samsung bloat on my phone.
thanks alot.

Personally I would recommend 4.1 or 4.2 depends if she needs the functions that are still missing from 4.2 (biggest one being camera I think) if she wants sense I recommend suprimo. As for a guide, there are some as a sticky in one of the sub forums (I think their in general)
Sent from my HTC One V using xda premium

I suggest you look for provision or pacman 19.3 in cdma (from what I can assume your CDMA) they have 5mp camera which is what the stock camera has. Note: the difference for flashing between a Samsung s2 and our device is we have to take the boot.img from the ROM.zip we DL and flash it in fast boot (thing before you enter recovery) after we flash the .zip in recovery
I recommend twrp recovery also because i find it easier to navigate
ONE MORE THING:
Power + down vol to get to fast boot and tell us what radio you have.
IF it ends in .0928 your going to get boot loops if you flash a JB ROM simple fix I'll tell you if it does because it is a complex process.
However if our radio ends in anything else you should be fine (htc had an ota that upgraded radio and it fked things up).

I've never been very tech-y with this stuff, and now I'm having problems with mine. I don't understand the ROMs or anything. I don't want to void the warranty or anything.

Well assuming the rules here. You can't install a rom here. Because for that you have to unlock the bootloader and doing that voids the warranty.
