Hello people.
An android newbie here. I have beem doing quite a bit of reading on this forum, but this is my first time posting. I have looked around all over the place and I have reached a point where I am confused of how to go about the task I am wanting to accomplish. Here goes:
I bought a desire HD on vodafone last week, it had 1.75.161.2 firmware on it. I stumbled across these forums and decided to flash a custom ROM (Leedroid). I was successful a this task, but now i have a charging problem with my phone. If i understand correctly, my warranty is void with a custom ROM, so I would like to know how i could get back to my stock Vodafone ROM (1.75.161.2), also with the branded vodafone logo that used to appear before i flashed to custom ROM.
Again, sorry if there is stuff about this posted elsewhere, I have been reading, but i am really confused.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
You have to run a RUU if you want to return to stock.
I don't have any links to official RUUs atm, but check the threads in the android developement section. There should be one with vodafone branding

Thanks for your reply.
I have installed a Vodafone branded RUU, I have also found a Vodafone backup which I have tried. I get the branding back, but I cannot get any updates OTA. I'm now on 1.39.161.1. There clearly is a 1.75 update on Vodafone, I used to be on it and my friends are on it.
Any help for me to receive these OTA updates?
Regards
I think 1.75 was pulled by HTC at the same time as the 1.72 update, due to some major bugs.

Vodafone website states 1.75 is the latest. Last week I had 1.75 I don't think 1.75 was pulled. 1.72 was definitely pulled.

Anothe DHD noob question here. I bought a DHD off eBay and I know it is locked to Vodafone, but I'm not sure if it's branded. If I don't get the Vodafone logo when I switch it on does that mean it's not branded?
Check the firmwareversion. If it's like 1.32.405.3 it's unbranded. The important part is .405. That means that it's unbranded.

It's 1.72.405.3
So it's unbranded but I need to downgrade in order to root and S-OFF etc?
Yes, you need to downgrade it to 1.32. But you don't need to create a gold card

Hi, I've the same problem, I need to get back to voda 1.75
First of all, did you used hboot S-OFF or radio S-OFF ?? Because if you used hboot you won't be able to recover the original boot to S-ON and your phone will be out of warranty regardless of the ROM it has installed.
As I understand it, if you've flashed the 1.39 branded RUU back to the phone that should've give you the stock vodafone recovery wich is what is needed in order to get Voda Branded OTA updates, am I right?
So I don't get why aren't you receiving the 1.75 OTA, do you have superCID?
Anyone knows if there is a 1.75 Voda RUU available somewhere to flash manually?

Hi.
Looks like we're stuck in the same boat! I have reflashed the original radio and the original hboot. Also put my cid to stock (VODAP001), and turned radio s-on. Reflashed clockworkmod recovery to original stock recovery, got the phone back to 100% the way it was when I took it out of the box, yet still I cannot get the OTA update to 1.75.161.2
I'm on 1.39.161.1, stock Vodafone UK firmware. I followed a guide off another forum (german forum) nd thanks to Google translator I managed to follow the steps. But still stuck at the OTA issue.
yep, so it seems.
Could you post the link to that thread on the german forum?
Thanks

There you go. Its the second set of instructions which i followed Have a gander.
Hi guys,
Sorry to dig this one up but I've hit a bit of a snag with my phone and could do with some assistance.
I got the phone originally with a Vodafone ROM and decided to debrand it to a plain HTC ROM - 1.72 using a de-brand pack I got from Fonefunshop. It appears that based on the fact the phone still has a Vodafone serial number but a HTC ROM I cannot receive OTA updates (I want Gingerbread ) then I need to revert back to stock. Ironically Vodafone released 2.3 earlier than HTC which was annoying to say the least.
I've been hunting round for the stock Vodafone RUU for 1.36 but I don't know if I can downgrade for starters, nor can I find any Vodafone RUU files anywhere including on here nor on Stock-ROM's.
Can anyone give me some help with this?
When I bought my phone from Vodafone on contract in November it came unbranded and unlocked. Nothing to do with Vodafone at all, apart from the CID. So if you just flash back to the stock 1.32 ROM and change the CID to the Vodafone one which I think is VODA_0001 (Dont quote me on that, its off the top of my head but there is a thread here somewhere that has it in), then make your phone S-on to get the updates.
That way you will be completely stock.
I'm in the same boat too
Flashed the non-branded software when I got the phone last year. Now I can't get the OTA update to 2.3.
Does anyone have a link the the stock 1.32 ROM and also a guide on how to change the CID and to make the phone S-on to get the updates?
Thanks

Please can you tell me where you found the Vodafone branded RUU. I really need it and haven't been able to find it anywhere.Thanks
this rom i have now: 1.28.111.10 it is from the first OTA, dose anyone know what rom i had before the OTA? ohhh... and when it boots up it has some dots a big red T and then some more dots (i think it's T-Mobile, not sure) if this helps anyone...
and can i flash EUROPE RUU over this one?? and if so will the OTA still work with europe ruu?
I have an At&t M9 with an unlocked bootloader with S-OFF. I'm running the ViperRom and I can't get calls. I'm told that the reason for this is because of the At&t RRU or something like that, and the WWE version will fix it. When I went over to AndroidRRU and looked though, there are a couple of different WWE versions there, and I don't know what to download. Could someone help me out with which one I'm supposed to download and then flash please?
hi everyone
Been searching without much success for this.
I am on a custom ROM and ideally do not want to return to stock simply to see if the OTA from Orange UK has been issued yet.
I am look any 1.4x or 2.7 firmware for:
mid: 0PJA10000
cid: ORANG001
thanks

Your in the same position i was a week ago.. except Im now s-off, with an unlocked bootloader. EE UK release the updates when they are good and ready and are known for being very VERY slow.. I got so tired of waiting I converted my M9 to HTC__001 WWE, and got the updates OTA. If you want the update now and on release day, thats what you have to do.
So far as I know, 1.40 is the newest update available here in the UK and it wouldnt surprise me if EE UK didnt wait until 5.1 gets released before they release another update, but thats just guessing.
Hope that helps

Appreciate your help and insight.
Looks like i will go s-off as the current EE firmware leaves much to be desired even though i am running MaximusHD, currently without any issues.

I'm still on 1.32.61.15 on my EE M9. I'm planning to root and s-off when European 5.1 OTA updates appear as there's no way I'm waiting for over a month after for EE to pull their finger out and push it.

I too decided not to wait on EE as after being sent from pillar to post by their customer service reps (most of whom don't actually know that the update to 1.40 exists) and reading on their android forums that they are notorious for very late OTA's, I took the plunge and did the whole s-off and unlock thing and changed my CID to HTC__001 and flashed the associated stock rom. Literally seconds after setup, the OTA showed up and installed.
I will no longer be at the mercy of EE's appalling customer service in regards to OTA's, and for anybody else waiting for this update on EE, I suggest you do the same!
BTW 1.40 is a HUGE improvement on the previous firmware, its almost like a different handset!!!
I misunderstood or install custom rom on orang 001 cid, firmware orange uk?
and I am stuck on orange uk firmware 2.10.61.6 with cid 001and S- on, I want to know if I could unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and then root him. The radio version of mine is 1144601, is sim unlock. if it is possible to install custom rom even if it was on, what would it be?
If I want to return to the official version 1.32.61.xx, with another radio versaiune somehow locks sim card? I use it in another country and another network than Orange UK.
please give me some advice, thanks a lot
If the cid and mid match your device and software version then you CAN use the ruu.
You CANNOT downgrade with s-on. You CANNOT flash any other version of software with s-on.
Basically you can flash your current firmware or later via ruu but only if it matches your device.

As the title says has anyone with Vodafone Au De-Branded with WWE? I just want to see if the reception changed at all or did you need to flash the Vodafone radio after? I'm sick of waiting for them to push the 1.80 update. I would like to be updated so i can flash the latest ROMS on updated firmwares.

Don't know if it helps, but I'm on Telstra and have gone to WWE and US international firmwares. US got me same reception, WWE was slightly lower than Telstra. There is a wiki you can google which lists what frequency different models/regions use. Just get something with a match to Vodaphone and signal should stay the same.
Here's the wiki. Https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
Did you ever try flash the telstra radio while on WWE? If i lost reception while on WWE i was thinking i could just flash the Vodafone radio which i have from the ota file. Just want to confirm before doing so.

No I didn't, have done that on my m8. Not on the 10. Can't see why it would not work. You could always flash different firmware if no signal.
I just checked and vodafone uses band 3 and 5. Which is 1800mhz and 850mhz. You wouldnt happen to know which bands WWE uses?

I don't know. From what I can see 1800 will be fine. Not 100% sure about 850. You will definitely have signal, just may not use 850. If you have voda original fw, it can't hurt to try anyway. Or wait, someone will have answer sooner or later. Good luck.
Thanks for your help mate. One more question for ya. I read through the debrand thread and it says to use the RUU. Do i have to or can i just super cid and flash the 1.80 firmware manually then flash twrp then custom ROM?

I did super cid, then used sneakyghost thread to flash firmware. Used nowipe fw. Either way will work.
If i wanted to go back to my Vodafone firmware after i de brand can i just flash the firmware.zip from the 1.53 ota? I have been reading up and the firmware.zips only have updated paritions so i might not get the full firmware back to Vodafone.
Doesnt seem like too many Aussies on this forum.

The ota will take you back to Vodafone fw. Just no Rom installed. I used the Telstra one on sneakyghost thread to go back.
Just an update, tonight I soff the phone changed cid to htc__001 and flashed the 1.80 RUU. Everything went absolutely fine. I have the same reception and LTE is working on both bands that Vodafone uses.
