[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biemsy:
I just made another goldcard and used the ROM I had debranded with in the first place (RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe). This went on fine. Wireless works, no sim lock.

But there are two things I've noticed:

It's not offering to restore from backup (possibly because the backup is from a newer version).

It's offering a system update to 1.15.405.4, but says the download is corrupted each time I accept it.

Update: After deleting the update from the download folder on the SD card, the update to 1.15.405.4 was successful.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
It was leaked but it's the shipped ROM from HTC
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satman_uk:
I had same prob as everyone else - no wifi after debranding with goldcard to 1.15 and using the OTA to 1.21 on orange UK

I got an unlock code (tested it with a 3 Sim , unlocks ok) in preperation to go back to reflash to the other ROM which simlocks the phone.

Trying this at the moment results in the RUU exe files running, getting to 10% or so but failing with Customer ID Error and unable to complete - am I missing something?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r2b2:
Re-make your Goldcard. Failing that, try another memory card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameson_uk:
Given there were three questions in my original post that was quoted I am not sure how an answer of

is obviously for that. Read (and re-read) this thread but I can not find a definative answer to the first part.

Some users are talking about flashing ROM and others about applying OTA update. Your post above suggests that they are different? Also some users talking about phone being SIM locked after update and that applying unlock code resolves this

And users have confirmed. This suggests that applying update will apply a SIM lock and then removing SIM lock will result in working WiFi. I have read other posts on here and other forums that even when SIM lock is removed WiFi is still not working on de-branded Orange Desire.

So I want to know, if I apply the OTA update to a debranded Orange Desire (a) will this re-apply the SIM lock I have already removed? and (b) after removing the SIM lock will WiFi work

Edit: just for my info is the OTA update actually provided by carrier and not HTC? (hence is applying Orange updates to a HTC stock ROM???)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thempstead:
Great minds .... just done the same thing myself (although the RUU file I used was slightly newer (was already .4)). SAme results as you say so now I need to manually reconfigure things as no offer of a recovery .... not to much of a problem really (especially with wifi now working)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
a. don't know, I've never had a branded Desire as I refuse to get branded phones for exactly this kind of issue

b. again, don't know but I doubt it

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satman_uk:
thx R2B2 - solution was simpler, I had actually forgotten to put the Goldcard in the phone before trying to reflash (doh! life was a bit easier in winMo days)

Now running 1.21 WWE with wifi working on Orange UK - had to pay £17.99 for unlock code but it makes the phone easier to sell a year from now anyway

Moral - read the forums before accepting any flippin update

recap what I think is state of play for Orange users : (none of this requires Root)

you can debrand using goldcard method to the 1.15 with no issues with Wifi. If you accept the OTA 1.21 update it WILL disable your Wifi .

To get your Wifi back the only way so far is to

i) reflash your phone using the same Goldcard back to 1.15 (ive not tested this)

ii) reflash to the 1.21 WWE which will result in a Simlock which needs a paid code to release your phone, but works.

I debranded my orange with the 1.15.405.4 Ruu, and after updating to 1.21.405.2 the handset was unable to connect to WI-FI, I think I've fixed it though and it didn't cost a penny

I just re-inserted my goldcard and downgraded to 1.15.405.4 (Paul's RUU @ modaco). Everything went fine, Wi-Fi is back working again, I just need add my widgets and Apps again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
This is the first time I've heard of a ROM update changing the SIM lock status on an Android phone. I'm afraid we're all very much in unknown territory here it would appear, but it seems likely to me that it was something about the OTA mechanism itself that has caused the issue.

If I were you, I'd ignore the update because it doesn't seem like it brings very much to the table.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Originally I thnk it was down to the radio - people were saying this happened on Orange Desire's when the new radios were out for download...Can't see what Orange have done differently, though, unless it's a failsafe to punish those debranding their phones!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifeisepic:
I've managed to get the WiFi working. I had to make my goldcard again and install the ROM which I used to debrand Orange (RUU-MoDaCo-Bravo-1.15.405.4-release). It installed fine, just have to avoid the OTA when it pops up.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lennshow66:
So, your phone was requesting the sim lock code? and then you re-made your gold card and reflashed?? Without buying a unlock code?? :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaperSKD:
Any of you guys on Orange like me, notice that after installing the manual update from here, and getting it working using unlock code, that the battery is terrible? It's been off charge 5 hours, and its on 60%. It'd only drop 20% in about 9 hours before.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveaka:
I did the same thing but I didn't have to make another goldcard, the phone was previously unlocked though
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifeisepic:
Not quite. I never got a sim lock.

My phone was originally Orange branded, and using the goldcard method I installed the generic ROM (RUU-MoDaCo-Bravo-1.15.405.4-release). Fast forward to the OTA, I install it and it breaks my WiFi.

To fix it, I just put the generic ROM back on. Admittedly it doesn't contain the OTA update, but from what I've read it's nothing special.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oursoul:
Damn I hope this gets fixed.. I'm glad I checked here before applying the update, but unlike most I can see the point in this update and would like it.

Fingers crossed someone figures out the trick soon. I dont like that us Orange users are different to everyone else and cant use a better radio version.

Will keep an eye on this thread for an update cos I cant really afford to unlock my phone right now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djoni1980:
let's just hope we'll be able to update to Froyo when it comes out... :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottW75:
I think the problem we have now is that the phone may not be upgradeable to android 2.2 if we aren't on the current firmware version.

I'd be happy to buy the unlock code and then flash to 1.21 WWE if it meant the the phone and radio firmware versions were confirmed as HTC Standard.

This would mean that in the future we shouldn't have any problems with OTA updates i would have thought.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hulkhaugen:
Hmm, i've done the same mistake as a lot of other users in here with a Orange branded Desire. I still got the unlock code, but will it work again, can anyone confirm this?

Or if i try to install the 1.21.xxx ROM, and it doesn't work, can i then go back to 1.15.xxx without problems? I don't mind loosing all my settings and apps...

I wonder what causes this, a bug in the generic MoDaCo ROM, a bug in the update or some weird error caused by Orange's interference....

EDIT: Will we see the same problem when upgrading to FroYo?

BTW: I bought a unlock code on eBay from this guy for £8,99, and it worked well the first time...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oursoul:
I haven't actually screwed my phone, but I called up Orange to see if I could get an unlock code in advance of screwing it. After a bunch of easy questions they decided my phone was faulty and offered me a replacement.

So I gave up. So bloody stupid, why can't Orange play ball, what's so different about their 'radio'. I'm really confused.

Will there ever be a working solution?

shh now that's just scaremongering :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottW75:
Well i thought i'd be the guinea pig seeing as i could phone Orange and play dumb if it went wrong.

Downloaded the 1.21 WWE update and went for it. As expected it updated fine and i got asked for a sim unlock code. I had bought one from htcunlock.com in preparation and it worked fine.

I'm now on:

Software : 1.21.405.2

Baseband: 32.36.00.28u_4.06.00.02_2

When it was updating it mentioned updating radio. So i would hope that the phone is now on HTC's standard firmware for both the phone and the radio. If thats the case we shouldn't have this issue again with future OTA updates.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danifamous:
yea, im having some problems with reinstalling the Rom. So ive tried making a goldcard, but no luck (same process as before), as its not finding the cid codes on the SDCard, and I looked around for my old GC, and its not installing... (gets stuck on bootloader)...

So do i have to downgrade 1st? or am I just doing something simply wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hulkhaugen:
Ok, i couldn't hold myself, so i upgraded with the leaked rom and a goldcard, overwrote my failed upgrade with similar version number, and it works perfectly, i didn't even have to unlock it :) Say what? :D I guess it did remember my last unlocking code :) And WiFi is working again, wohoo....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oursoul:
Cool, so really I have to just put some money by for an unlock code and everyting be cool.

That's fine I wanted to unlock it at some point anyway :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lennshow66:
No free way of doing this then??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teppic24:
That was pretty much my thinking as well. I was always going to SIM unlock at some point, but it wasn't going to be for a few months yet. Reading about the resolution here simply brought that plan forwards.

One SIM unlock and re-flash of the full 1.21 ROM later and my wi-fi is back and working perfectly. To me it also seems a bit quicker at getting a 3G connection compared to the 1.15 ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedeabc:
Am I right in thinking that the Orange Wifi issue is only caused by the OTA update? And that a manual flash of the same ROM/radio will work?

So for someone with an Orange UK handset running generic 1.15 the procedure for upgrading to 1.21 with working wifi is:

Manually flash to 1.21 using the exe linked somewhere on this forum

purchase an unlock code

That's it right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottW75:
That's what I did and it's fine.

argh, debranded T-Mobile handset lost wifi

I debranded my T-Mob handset, and I've just applied the OTA update. All is working APART FROM WIFI. Arghl

Firmware 2.1-update1

baseband 32.30.00.38u-4.05.00.11

2.6.29-297da29ed

update: applied this full update usign my goldcard which obviously wiped the phone. All seems well. Wifi works.

It's a T-Mobile handset, not Orange, so am I likely to see a SIM lock?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottW75:
I got the simlock message straight away so if you've Updated to 1.21 and not seen it then your phone must already be unlocked.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djoni1980:
is there a way to find out if phone is unlocked already?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
The OTA update seems to kick off with WiFi, the full RUU in my sig seems to work fine but IF you use it you can't downgrade due to a change in the HBOOT. It'll also likely SIM lock your device again so if you unlocked your unit you'd have to get another code

To check if you're unlocked:

Software version should be 1.15.405.x out of the box. If it is, you can get the update with no worries as it's a generic WWE Desire

SIM lock after flashing latest rom

Guys, I went to HTCunlock and for £17.99 I got my unlock code in about 15 minutes. I had to put it in TWICE and then I was unlocked and the phone has booted. All i have to do now is set it up again :-(

I had unbranded my Orange desire weeks ago. I upgraded to the latest ROM OTA. Found WifI bust. Reflashed with the full rom as recommended here. This however bust the radio and the caused a sim lock. All good now. Plus my Desire is unlocked - could have with doing this before traveling through Asia 3 weeks ago!!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satman_uk:
Ok 1 day into Simunlocked - 1.21 flashed with new radio

I find the Radio performance significantly better than the old one, I am in a low signal area and the connection is much stronger, switches to HSPDA more often. Battery life is no different BUT I have less than half the apps loaded that i had before (lost due to rom flash)

BTW anyone near starbucks I recommend getting a drinks card and loading with £5 for coffee, gives you free wifi access to BT Openzone to pretty much gives you decent wifi access across london, although all the twats with their apple laptops and pads sitting there sipping brew pretending to work but really waiting to be pulled by some hippie chick is a distraction :)

HTC Tattoo To Be Upgraded to Android 2.1

12th March , 2010

HTC have confirmed that the HTC Tattoo will be upgraded to Android 2.1, which is the newest version of the Android operating system.

The current version running on the HTC Tattoo is version 1.6, which to be honest is really quite dated now so the update will be greatly appreciated.

The update to Android 2.1 will bring many benefits to the HTC Tattoo with the first being improved speed, reliability and efficiency across the whole platform. Additionally, you can have five home-screens on Android 2.1 , meaning you can have one for work, play, social networking and so on.

Android 2.1 also adds “Quick contact” functionality, which enables you to easily switch between address and social network contacts.

The HTC Tattoo has a 2.8 inch touch-screen, a 3.2 mega-pixel camera, FM radio and full 3G support. When we reviewed the HTC Tattoo here at 3G we concluded that “If you're hankering after an Android phone, this comes up with the goods for a (relatively) low price.”

This is one of the 'brilliant' bits of journalism that sparked the Frandroid article.

Its all listed and discussed in the other much longer thread here on XDA.

In essence, it was a HTC customer support answer that was posted and discussed here and then ended up on Frandroid. All complete nonsense, as is that article above -- that piece above about Android 2.1 on the Tattoo shows a complete lack of knowledge about the Tattoo, they talk about 2.1 bringing five screens for f sake.

I would post all the links, but can't be bothered. The OP should have read the other three or four threads with the heading Android 2.1 that are right below this one.
[Click General] brandmarked:
The HTC Support person may be getting confused with the Hero update, they do that a lot ;-) as the announcements for the Hero did say it would be a minor ROM update at the begining of June followed by 2.1 later in June.

OR, us Tattoo owners could be in luck!

Somehow I don't think so though :-/
