.80 & Above = No root access.

So those of us who got phones with the .80 or newer boot loaders are out of luck for now?

yes, Paul said the 0.80 bootloader could not be rooted this time. And he also said he was working on it, but he did not give ETA.

i wanna it too. I hoping for a fast solution.

Turn the phone off, then hold the back + power keys and read it from that screen (near the top).

Are only O2 germany Devices 0.80?

Softbank Japan too.

Mine 's HBoot says 0.75.
So does that mean I can root my Desire?
Thanks

yes a 0.75 can be rooted

The Asia 1.19 version is 0.80 bootloader too.

Are any UK models .80 & above?

The newer Models ALL will have it ;-)

So, none of these HTC Desire phones with the 0.80 bootloader can have the generic ROM installed either (not referring to root)? I heard that you get a version mismatch error when attempting to run the RUU (Rom Update Utility) on a phone that already has the new 0.80 bootloader installed.

Yes ive tested it u get an error all new devices will have this bootloader so there will be root soon =)

[Q] Do I need to SIM Unlock??

Hello All,
When I first got my desire back in April from Orange UK, I had the default Eclair build. I rooted and moved to a Froyo custom ROm and Radio and found I was locked out of my own network as the ROM was of course De-Branded. At the time I paid and got an unlock code.
I recently had to send my phone back for Warranty repair with HTC and they have returned it to me, once again with the current Orange ROM/Radio versions and having changed some inards, I now have a new IMEI number too. I have so far tried two unlock sites but both came back with a "sorry we don't have a code for that IMEI" and so I am very wary of putting another custom ROM on my device in case I get SIM locked out of my own network again.
My question is this:
I vaguely remember that the issue with Orange users being locked out of their own network when using the debranded froyo ROm's was due to changing the Radio (as we needed a 5.x.x.x radio when moving from ecalir to froyo). Since my current Radio is 32.48.00.32U_5.10.05.30, if I get a custom ROM without Radio and carry on using the one I have (already Froyo compatible) will I be ok or will I get simlocked again?
Many thanks in advance
David

Strange, I always thought ROM had nothing to do with your SIM lock... Maybe it depends on what phone you have because I have SIM unlocked my HTC magic after owning it a year long and then after that installed many different ROMs without being SIM locked again.

You don't need to unlock anymore. Newer radios don't lock orange desires anymore.
I did the exact same thing as you, when I got my second orange desire I didn't need to unlock it.

Thanks mercinary, does this mean I can choose the radio update with the relevant custom ROM or should I keep the Radio on the device that is there currently?

That's generally the case, but in the past flashing a non orange froyo radio on a locked orange desire would lock you out of all networks...including orange. It has not been an issue afaik since orange released froyo, all radios after this point did not lock orange phones.
I wish we knew more about this bug because if the radio can manipulate the phones lock state maybe a custom radio can be made to unlock your phone...that's a big maybe though, and I don't know what I'm talking about

Its up to you. If you've got froyo now the radio will work fine with any rom. I've never had any trouble with my new orange desire, flashed loads of radios.

I think i would have a word with HTC, your phone was unlocked when you sent it to HTC for repair, so it should be unlocked on return to you, even if they have changed the mainboard.

[Q] Flashing Stock RUU on Unlocked 3UK (H3G__001)

Hey guys. Quick question if anyone can help me.
A friend has a HTC One X from Three UK which he has had carrier unlocked by Three UK themselves. I want to know if I would be able to flash the stock Rom onto this device to debrand it, without having to S-Off.
His CID is H3G__001. I initially assumed he would not be able to without S-Off, but I thought I would check my old HTC Hero which was originally on Three UK and then unlocked in the same manner.
The Hero I managed to debrand by flashing a stock RUU, but the CID on that device is also H3G__001. So I'm thinking, if the CID ends with __001, does that mean a stock RUU can be flashed?
Do any of you know what the CID is for a locked Three UK device?
My friend is looking to sell his HTC One X and I'll only buy it if I can debrand it and have it running the stock firmware.
Currently using a Desire HD and iPhone 4, but getting sick and tired of waiting for the upcoming ICS update. If HTC had said the DHD is not being update, then I would have just got the One X..!

My locked three branded phone has the same CID - I don't beleive you will be able to install a stock ruu on this phone without changing the CID.

You can still put a stock rom on the phone by going down the htc dev route but you can't use an RUU.

Need some help unlocking/branding this old phone!

I know this is an old phone but my mother was complain about it so I told her I'd see what I could do, the usual method of unlocking the phone via htcdev does not work, just gives me code is to long error, so I turned to the forums looking for way to unlock and root the phone, all I want to do is install CM 10.1 but since I can't even get it unlocked, and it will not downgrade with RUU is come to ask if anyone here is still alive is there a still working method with active links to I can get the job done?

Well first I tried unlocking it via HTC dev but it would not take the code, so I came to the forums and seen that first I have to debrand it, so I'm stuck at debranding since the phone will not allow the firmware to be downgraded, which i learnt then that id have to force downgrade h-boot so I can downgrade the firmware, thats where im at, stuck at debranding -.-

You don't require to debrand to unlock IMHO...............go word by word on the instructions on HTCdev.com, Just proceed to the steps since you have an unlockable bootloader

Hey guys, after upgrading hboot(for htcdev) and unlocking bootloader and failed s-off(Branded o2 DE phone which wont take anything idk why) my phone's audio and Wifi isn't working at all.
HTC Desire HD

Nothing helps. Tried to flash alot RUU's and even can't find GB for o2 DE, s-off failed, and my Vol (+) isn't working so it makes everything even more complicated.

Sir,as far as I know A9191(Desire HD) only for Outside USA which released in 2010, where as A9192(Inspire 4G) released only for USA in 2011. So even if sticker pilled off you may find out.
Just turn back your device,if its AT&T print so its A9192 and if A9191 then it will print as hTC.
Simple isnt it?
@maartards,if S-ON is OK with you then still you may flash any custom ROM you want.just need to flash boot.IMG every time you flash new custom ROM to your device.
Thanks.

How can I flash that ROM? Via custom recovery? How to get it without s-off or root?
