I purchased my HTC desire unlocked and unbranded from Europe, and are running the stock generic HTC 2.1 ROM. However I am not getting the Froyo update and have manually checked several times now. Can someone please help me?
Thanks in advance.

i just debranded my boss phone to 2.1 and checked for the update and said none availible! maybe an issue witht the update server
dont think location makes a difference as your phone will still have the european code in it so should get the update regardless of location
I got the 2.2 update on mine and i am using a WWE (World Wide English) ROM, not a European ROM.
last night when i checked for update, there was froyo. but i did not update due to battery level. today it says no update, maybe a problem with server or it has been withdrawn
I´m from Portugal and I have the same problem. I make these steps:
1 - Upgrade Desire using a original RUU you can found here. I use RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe and without sim card inserted.
2 - After you go to About And search for updates again.
Work for me. Try If you want be careful. I'm not responsible for anything...LOL. Like I said work for me...
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

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
Hi,
I just joined the world of Android this week and bought my HOX, I bought it from eBay and it turns out it was imported from Vietnam so it's got Vietnamese firmware on, so i seem to get the Asian OTA releases. I figured If i root it I'd be able to flash it with English firmware/software but being new to it all im not so sure and don't want to lose my warranty.
Can anyone offer me some advice?
Thanks in advance
Edit - Looking a bit further into it, i think what im attempting to do is change from an Asian RUU to a European RUU.
You can't flash an RUU from a different region without super cid, which you can't get without s-off, which we don't have.
Hello,
I recently got an HTC One X (from Kogan) but it's international stock, which means it comes with Asia firmware. Not a BIG deal, but i'd like to change the language from Singapore to Australia and remove over 15 carrier apps from Asia.
I updated the phone 3 times and am on version 2.17.707.3
I have no problem rooting, unlocking the bootloader (HTCDev.com) or installing clockwork recovery. I know how to do itt i just need the official HTC One X Australia ROM (Optus).
I want a ROM that is a genuine HTC one and that will be updated in the future.
Can anyone point me to one?
Thanks, Danz207
You can only install RUUs which match your CID number - in your case it's probably not OPTUS001 like mine since you bought it overseas.
About the bloatware, you can remove them using Titanium backup or ROM Cleaner, just remember to backup.

Can i still install an official rom though? Is just basically installing another rom over this one, i dont see the big deal?
Any custom rom defaults to WWE with all languages so why not get better performance out of IC or ARHD

Hi Dan I live in Sydney and Im thinking about getting the HOX from Kogan too. Can you please share your experience purchasing the phone from Kogan? I need a phone ASAP since I just cancelled my contract w Vodafone but I'm not sure if I should purchase the HOX from an online retailer (it's so much cheaper though) since the HOX has a lot of hardware issues (still prefer it over Samsung) and I dont want to have to send it overseas for 2 3 weeks if something happens (Im a smartphone addict xD). What a shame I need to get a phone quickly otherwise I would wait for the HOX+ hoping they will have fixed all the hardware related issues by then.

I was going to do the same
I also live in sydney, and purchase my hox from kogan, but I ended up getting it from eglobaldigitalcameras.com.au
it came with the taiwan bloatware. the preferred way I got rid of it was install ARHD.,
from memory the price was $50 cheaper then kogan, but that was because i had purchased from them before.

M9 is different.
U must restore a previously made with TWRP system image, to be able to take OTA.
If you didn't make one before u rooted , u must find one for your model.
