I have just replaced my Sony Ericsson Vivaz with a nice new HTC Wildfire. The phone is pretty good, but I have the typical problem carrier spam applications.
I need to get rid of them. So de-branding would be my best show. I have a lot of experience with Symbian-based phones, but I'm pretty new to Android.
I've seen a "tutorial" (barely explaining stuff) on how to debrand it, but I would appreciate it if someone could explain in a little more detail (or maybe a screenshot or a video if possible).
Also one more thing (the most importaint)...while I have a slight chance to figure out how to do it, I have no idea where to get a generic firmware (or are they called "roms"?) from...anyone can tell me where I can get one that's up to date(UK region or Spain would be appreciated)? (Android 2.2.1 is the latest I believe? not custom firmware please)
Thanks in advance to all readers.
Do you like to experiment with your phone and use roms?
If so, you need to root and install a rom
The only thing that will more than likely stop you is the hboot(please search on how to check this) if your hboot is not ver0.80 you cannot root for the time being until it is unlocked.
If you want a generic rom please search Google for shipped-roms website.
For help how to do this search forum for Thu flash.
Hope this helps

I've found a website with roms, but how do I know which is generic (HTC, unmodded) and what region?
Actually, the names are so weird I can barely even figure out what they are (example: RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe )
I don't want to install mods, only debrand it...do I need to root the phone all the same? Or unmodded roms work without it?
And one more question...after flashing with a generic rom, will I still receive OS updates (if any are released) the same way I am now?
P.S. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741651&highlight=Thu+flash <-- is this the "Thu Flash" you were talkning about?
Hey everyone
im a new user on android, the thing is that i bought my new htc desire a day ago, and i found out that it doesnt support arabic, it only shows font but not complete words... i heard that there has been found a solution but on rooted phones, my phone version is 2.2,
i would really like to be guided through this, and for instance what is rooting the phone and CM7 and CM6, i also tried searching and i found cyanogen; the website; a good source if i decided to hack my phone to support arabic,
i also would like to know if i can return my phone to factory settings if i decide to after i hack it ? and how can i backup ?
Do you think that if i install cyanogen would be better than the platform that comes with the phone from htc ?
i also knew that ps1 games and others can work on my phone and it has to do with emulators... which is the best emulator and where to download the games from ?
and any other information u might add that might help me would be great
thanks alot in advance
and sorry, i know the questions are too much
ie : u dont need to answer all questions hehe, any helpful answer to any question would be great
my apprectiations to all of u
Hi
Read and Follow this for a complete guide on how to root to flashing, its pretty simple and this guide will help you a lot and it has videos too to make it more simpler to understand.
If you want to ROOT the guide is here: ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084, or you can follow the steps here: ht tp://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/300866-guide-rooting-unrevoked-windows-updated-20th-may-2011-a.html. This is the tutorial I used to ROOT, and everything worked perfect.
Also before you ROOT be sure to make a Gold Card.
Instructions and download: h t tp://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/
You can go back to your original STOCK ROM with and original RUU, which you can download from here: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
Be sure to check your version with the one you download. From Phone go to Settings->About Phone->Software Information and check Baseband Version and Software number.
After you ROOT you can also make a back-up from ClockWorckMod Recovery, which is automatically installed when you ROOT. Also a good back-up application is Titanium Back-up (back-up app, settings etc.).
To run PS1 games you can get FPse app from market.
TO GET THE GAMES IF FORBIDDEN IF YOU DON'T OWN THEM!!!!
Hope this helps you. If you have any more questions post them here.
a great thanks to aamir007 and UsManyDead
but i didnt get wut u mean concerning the games, i downloaded the nintendo emulator and the ps1 as well, after that wut do i do ? do i download the games from the market or from some blogs or wut ???
concerning the root i will do it in a couple of days insha'alla and i will post my questions here if i face any problems, thanks alot mates
and do u personally advice rooting the phone, and is it better than the platform that comes with the phone ? wut do i gain from rooting my phone, for example do i get better performance and such things ?
sorry my questions might look weird but im new user
Hello.
What I meant about games is that you can't ask warez questions here. If you have the apk for android then all you need to do is get the image of the game. This one only you know how and where to get it. GOOGLE.
I think it is good to ROOT your phone since after you root you have a lot more options of what to do with your phone.
To find out what you exactly get after ROOT-ing please read the whole FAQ from here, it explains most of your questions (that you might have): ht tp://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/221212-faq-rooting-updated-2nd-june-2011-a.html
Depends on your needs.
You are currently asking the same questions I asked myself many months ago. Basically, it will all depend on what you want to do with your phone. If it will just be a phone, then there's no need to root it. On the other hand, if you plan to change every single aspect of how your phone looks or behaves, then rooting and "S-OFFing" should be done to it.
Just be prepared for headaches that you might experience. I know there are guides throughout this forum. But not everything will go smoothly. If you do decide to install another ROM, start with a well-tested and stable firmware, then experiment with bleeding-edge ROMs once you become more familiar with troubleshooting.
One more thing: enjoy the adventure! You will love it!
thanks alot guys i really appreciate ur help
honestly co_dominic, im starting to have a headache hehe ! thought it looks quite good
i actually entered to the stock rom ruu website u gave me but i didnt know wut link i should download.. how do i know ??

Hi.
Two great guides for you to read is THIS and THIS, they should address your question.
hey thanks for the links but im still very new at this is there a youtube video explaining and showing how to do this?
Use THIS as a guide, and read the previous two links in full. Everything is pretty straight forward.
I don't even know how this works. I just want to root my Xperia Mini pro Sk17 using my Windows 8 machine. I have tried all methods, most recently this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038, however, there's no 562 kernel for my phone and I can't contact anyone. Can anyone help me?
How it works:
- Understand what rooting is a bit, and why you want to do it in the first place
- Find a root method which is compatible with your device. The link you gave appears to be for an Xperia Arc...
- Google 99% finds the right way first time. If not then search in the correct forum before posting another question. Currently you've posted in the HTC Desire section...we can't really help you here.
This is a wrong section. Try to search/open thread in the Xperia Mini pro section.
Hello everyone. After spending hours and hours searching through the forums/Google I am having difficulty finding the proper ftf required to flash my Xperia play's baseband to 72. I am currently running bb64 but read CM9 prefers 72. The only info I can come up with are broken links or very outdated posts which are no longer relevant. Some posts indicate the files can be found on the cyanogenmod/FXP site itself but i cant for the life of me locate themIf someone could point me in the right direction that would be most appreciated. Thanks.
I, too, would like to know the answer to this question. There are a list of basebands at this website uploaded(dot)net/folder/um2ivw, but none of the FTFs are specifically for the R800at. Is one of these compatible with the R800at?
same here! would love some help!
