Looking for HTC Desire US ROM

Hi,
As i posted earlier that whatever SMS that i receive it lags 4 hours. Currently I am using SMSFix to tackle this issue but this thing is bothering me that why to install a special app for that. it gives me problem if i get text messages when this service is not running.
SO, I thought may be the issue is because my HTC Desire is EU Unlocked. Just want to give a try i am trying to search for HTC Desire US specific ROM. I have searched online, but could not fiind one .. Please refer me to one.
- I am not looking for any CUSTOM ROM.
- I have not ROOTED by device yet. Still waiting someone to anwer my question on other thread to root.

have you downloaded the latest unrevoked 3.21 that seems to have worked for me. its no longer a zipped folder, its now a complete MSI app

Yes, I have already tried that and it is not working for me. I have already posted that problem in Q and A section

Can anyone please help

How to get 2.2 on a debranded phone?

I've posted a similar thread which ended up in Q&A, but nobody looks there so I'm posting again in the hope someone can shed some light.
I've got a Virgin Desire (2nd hand) which I've debranded with the 2.1 HTC ROM I downloaded and flashed.
How do I get the new 2.2 on the phone? When I do OTA checks for updates it says none available and I can't find a thread with any information on what to do in this situation.
I've searched and checked many times and would appreciate some help!
Cheers,
Joe

I guess You will have to download any Froyo room and flash it manually. OTA update depends on carriers. Hope it helps

So for example, I flash the T-Mob ROM and then wait for the OTA from them?

If you have debranded and now have the HTC Generic ROM installed (with goldcard) then all you have to do is wait a couple days and keep checking.
Or as said above, download a 2.2 generic rom and flash that. Take a look around here, there's plenty of links to download available.

Thanks, I have the generic HTC ROM installed, so my final question is do I need the goldcard in there for the phone to recognise that there is an update available? I took it out at is was a 2gb card and have my normal 6gb card in there at present.
Cheers,
Joe

If your phone WAS branded then you'll need the gold card for ALL future updates

I think you should just put that in your signature

Seems to be what I say in all threads these days, isn't it??

Thanks guys - it may be what you say a lot but my search terms didn't lead me to it.
Perhaps a sticky would be good for this gem of a piece of information?
Go on, tell me it was there all the time and I missed it, hehe.

Just need to search 'debrand htc desire' and most of the threads at some point say keep the gold card in

Yep, freshly redone goldcard in (the one used for debranding) and hey presto...
No updates. Boo hoo.
I'll leave it in for a couple of days then and see what happens.

Geez, just download any Froyo rom and flash already. There are countless threads about this in this forum.

Dude, this phone was with Virgin and there's more chance of Santa Claus taking a dump in my toilet than getting 2.2 from them!
I figured vanilla HTC 2.1 would get the purest and quickest updates.
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed is what I used to flash it a few weeks back.

So if you've got that ROM what's the issue? Other than needing a gold card to get the new OTA there's nothing else you need as the OTA should just download and install
What ROM are you on at the mo?

Just looked at that page...
Edit: this is what I have now and I'm downloading the ROM and radio files from your sig Eddy. That presumably will sort it out.
And I now realise I've been a complete spack here. It's the recent (Sept 2010) 2.2 update I want - I know I have basic Froyo already.

So am I on the latest and greatest anyway?

Oh arsemonkeys, the tribulation continues.
So I get the ROM on Eddy's sig, run it with fresh goldcard in and itonly goes so far and dumps me out with the black screen/HTC logo - first on the PC is said waiting for bootloader and a couple of minutes later it errored out - something about USB connection error.
So I search and try the white bootloader/fastboot screen approaches but get even less far in.
I've done plenty of searching but the problem is that there is so much information here it's like a needle in a haystack to work out what I need to do to get this ROM on board.
If anyone can help me out then feel free - I'm well and truly befuddled now!

Wait there's an official 2.2 rom for the Desire?

Dude, i don't understand what your asking for here. Isnt it on 2.2 already ??

2.10.405.2 is the latest version, is it not saying it's there if you check for OTAs?

Yes that's what I mean Eddy, no updates show up as being available, whether a gold card is in or not and to top it off I don't seem to be able to install the ROM on your Sig.

[Q] Download Froyo 2.2

Hi All,
Please bear with me - I'm a late Desire joiner.
I've been reading the Froyo update threads but haven't found an answer.
Phone is UAE version, Arabic and English, and has ROM v 2.1xx on it.
The updater says there is no update.
How can I download the stock HTC 2.2 ROM, please?
All help much appreciated.

OK - I've been to the HTC website and 2.2 is not available for my phone - I guess that this is because they haven't got around to the Arabic yet!
So, I'd like to install a UK English version of 2.2 - where can I get it?

Check you screen
Hi,
Im a fellow newbie HTC Desire user. I just rooted my Desire now running on custom ROM. I think you need to check first if you have SLCD or AMOLED screen. Most RUUs are not compatible with SLCD Desire phone.
You can re-direct to Informative Threads, Links & Info - READ THIS FIRST ! thread and refer to [ROM] Official HTC Desire RUU ROMS and OTA Update URLs.
Hope this helps.

Many thanks.
I've installed roms before on my WinMo phones quite happily.
But, this time I'd like to stay with the stock rom from HTC, so I just want to upgrade to 2.2 for the improved functionality ........ I think I need to fool HTC into thinking that the phone is in the UK and it will upgrade OTA?
Hmmm ..... whwre to download the official HTC Froyo?

all RUUs in the link are authenticated by HTC = not custom ROM. Just download the RUU for your region and then upgrade to 2.2 via OTA. Just confirm first that you have AMOLED screen. As i said, most RUUs are not compatible with SLCD screens.

Right, thanks, I'm beginning to understand.
How can I tell if my phone has the amoled screen?
Thanks for your patience!

np
Just a heads up, it might take a while installing ROM on your Desire (30 minutes or so) so dont panic if you see the HTC logo with white background for a while.

OK, I'm getting closer to doing it - maybe at the weekend.
How do I know which type of screen it has?

Hi,
You can follow the procedure in one of the threads here. Also, normally, most phones sold after Aug 2010 are all SLCD screens.
However, I advise you to just sent an email to HTC Customer Service to be 100% sure (this is what i did).

I do believe that if you are upgrading to Froyo then screen type doesn't matter because it has both sets of drivers anyway. Also I think there is a list of official download find in the developers section of this site.;0-)

OFFICIAL OTA Asia thread

i made a thread about music quality once, then when someone made one after me, putting "official" in the title, mine was closed. now i know.
i'm tired of looking in the multiple 1.29 and OTA threads, so i just want to check in this one. i realize the changelog doesn't mention Asia. i just need to know when it's time to go back to stock and relock for an OTA. post here when you get one or hear of one.

No updates here. Also waiting for 1.29 update.

[Q] How can I get Android 4.2.2 & Sense 5 on HTC One X?

Please mind if anything I write/do on this forum is wrong. This is my first ever post on a forum and I know barely nothing about rooting a phone.
Unfortunately the carrier on my HTC One X, Orange UK, has not released the Android 4.2.2, Sense 5 update yet - and it's most likely that they are not going to. So I am looking to root my phone in order to get this update. I did look at flashing a custom ROM at first, but I'd prefer to get the official version. I did find something on the internet about changing the CID on my phone by rooting it, so that I could receive the official OTA update straight from HTC. Can someone please give me the dumbed-down version on how to do this? I will very much appreciate it.

Edit : wrong thread !
Well you can install a sense 5 custom rom. That's the easiest. If you want to update officially then unlocking and rooting is not going to help. And changing your cid is also impossible.
