[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Tyrant171:
Hey y'all, this is my first post and I hope that I'm not putting this in the wrong forum.

Anyways, I'm seriously contemplating getting an HD2 (currently on a G1), but I'm still uneasy about the inevitable shock of switching from the huge Android app market to the lackluster Windows Markeplace. I can deal with losing most of my frequently-used apps, but I don't know if I can deal with not having any type of app available to quickly check sports scores (Major League Baseball scores in particular).

My question is this: Is there any app available for the HD2 on Windows Marketplace or otherwise that will allow me to quickly check MLB scores?

Thanks for any info!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dynomite16:
There is no sport app other than world cup. I've asked a couple times, and either get no answer or that their is not one. I would like an app that track all sports scores..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fastguebo:
this is how i get the scores.

go to espn.com/mlb go to scores and then add that page to your favorites go to internet tab add as favorite, you just made mlb scores app and it reload automatic.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mediaman30:
just use sports tap mobile save the page as a favorite then do a quick link! Thats what I did works great!!! Just like my old sportstap on android but without alerts

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuatha:
you could try doing a manual update using the RUU 1.21.405.2 in the dev forum. I used that and I have no wi-fi problems...

Funny, the other reports of broken wi-fi I've read seem to be from people who had previously rooted their phones too...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doinbox:
Is there no other way around this other than flashing the rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuatha:
Doubt it, but it's pretty soon after the official roll-out. Give it time and somebody might figure something out.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teppic24:
Mine has never been rooted and I have the same wi-fi problem after the 1.21.405.2 update.

Not so funny then, I guess.

Try flashing with this:

It's the same update... but it works. At least, it worked on mine and many others. It will wipe everything so make sure to back up first.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aitese:
Same here...Never rooted, but I did de-brand with a generic ROM using a GoldCard. Can't start Wi-Fi.

Does anyone know if T-Mobile customers with the stock T-Mobile ROM have received this update?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierre.ristic:
Hello. Exactly same problem for me: Orange France ROM flashed to official HTC, and after upgrade unrecognized wifi. It was never rooted.

How to be sure to have an official ROM ?

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuatha:
Ok, so it's not rooting, but we now have three people in this thread who have flashed to the generic rom and then updated, who now have broken wireless.

Teppic24 - how about you? Did you debrand your phone? Just curious. If that's the issue maybe we can warn people who have done the same...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teppic24:
Yes I did de-brand.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuatha:
So basically, everybody in this thread who has wireless issues, de-branded their phone before applying the update?

There's a pattern here...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucstreng:
It's exactly the same for me. I debranded my French Orange HTC Desire with the official HTC Rom, and now no more Wifi :(

What's more, I have never rooted my Desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doinbox:
arrrrrrggggghhhh Help!

Just flashed it using the same 1.21.405.2 rom from the dev section and now its asking for sim network unlock pin

I put in my goldcard and booted to fastboot then with my phone connected to pc i ran the rom.exe and it installed booted up and now its asking for sim network unlock pin.

Any ideas plz

Thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuatha:
Yeah, I don't know what exactly the issue is, but the debranding does seem to be the culprit (so far, anyway)

As mentioned previously, you can probably fix it by flashing your Desire with the rom linked in the first post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=684259

It's an official release. It will wipe everything, so make sure to back up first.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teppic24:
I take it a Goldcard is still required to flash that, even for de-branded phones?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aitese:
Yep...and now I feel like a **** for leaving it lying around my overly tidy girlfriend who doesn't take care of what she's throwing out when she's gone all Monica for the day.

Well, I just plugged my phone in and opened the RUU on my pc. But my desire is a stock, unaltered model.

Is it possible to flash only the baseband ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oursoul:
Ordered an hour ago and still not arrived. I'm apprehensive but I guess since its the weekend the dude's having a break. I've already flashed my phone using goldcard and the 1.21.405.2 exe now its asking for the code.

Funny little thing, I took the SIM out and switched on and it gives me access to the phone, WiFi and all so that's pretty cool since I can set it all up again while I wait for the code to be delivered.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Software Guru:
Good Evening, some noob questions

I have a Desire that was on T Mobile which I unlocked and debranded so that I could use my O2 sim card. My phone has NOT been rooted. I ran the OTA update and now WiFi is not working but everything else appears to be

1. Can I just flash with this ROM and all will be okay

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe

2. Do I need a Gold card to do this?

Thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justnine:
Hi,

I'm another user who has lost wifi. I'm on T-Mobile, was running 1.15.110.11 TMO UK when I received the handset, and I updated to the RUU HTC Europe 1.15.405.3. My handset has never been rooted - I just used a goldcard to go from the TMO UK firmware to HTC Europe firmware.

Yesterday, I requested a manual check for updates and it installed 1.21.405.2. After that, I didn't notice until yesterday evening that I hadn't connected to my home wireless network. This was about 6 hours after the update.

Interestingly, dropping to SPL/fastboot on startup shows hboot version as 0.75 still. The HTC WWE version 1.21.405.2 image has a hboot update to 0.80. Looks like the HTC Europe update doesn't have hboot update.

Running adb logcat whilst turning wifi on in the settings panel gives:

I/WifiHW ( 80): wifi_load_driver enter
I/WifiHW ( 80): wifi_load_driver end error 2
E/WifiService( 80): Failed to load Wi-Fi driver.
D/SettingsWifiEnabler( 357): Received wifi state changed from Unknown to Enabling
D/SettingsWifiEnabler( 357): Received wifi state changed from Enabling to Unknown

Now, if I adb shell into the device whilst powered up normally, change directory to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/, I notice that the wifi device doesn't appear - it usually has a directory of eth0.

If you read dmesg, you can see why the driver isn't working:

<3>[ 49.210357] bcm4329: version magic '2.6.29-0cb9f166 preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.29-97da29ed preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '

They put a new kernel version in, but didn't rebuild the bcm4329 driver against the updated kernel.

The good news is: Your hardware isn't ruined. This is a stupid mistake HTC have made when they built this firmware version. If you can sidestep to another firmware (HTC WWE, or your carrier native firmware) version, try it. I would try to avoid paying money for unlock codes unless your handset is demanding an unlock code to continue working.

Hi

I have done the same as many others, debranded my tmobile Desire, and updated. Now left with no working wifi

I have already got my unlock code, but can somebody explain what they mean by entering it twice? I entered it once, then clicked ok, and it just went to the normal home screen.

can anyone help?

Yea probs i got mine in around 15-30mins and that was yesterday :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuatha:
If you want to get your wi-fi working, you need to manually install the 1.21.405 update that was leaked to XDA a few weeks back. edit: see my post on Page 2 for the link

You just download it to your PC, plug in your phone and open the file. The program will walk you through the update.

It will wipe your phone so you'll need to backup all your data first. Download mybackup pro from the market to do this.

The unlock code was purely for Orange users. Due to some oddity of the Orange network, the XDA update simlocked their phones.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhunt407:
Thankyou very much! Luckily, i needed the phone unlocked anyhow.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oursoul:
Brilliant, all sorted. I manually updated my phone with my goldcard and recieved the unlock code for £9.95 from the eBay listing from this thread. Had to put the code in twice and now everything is hunkydory.

WiFi & Orange SIM working as it should and the added bonus of my phone being unlocked for when I want to travel at the end of the year :)

Thanks to this thread things could not have been easier. Cheers guys for being open and clear about your issues

Lets ReCap.

* UnBranded Orange Handset.

* Manually update your phone with goldcard inserted and this:

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe

firmware.

* Get an unlock code unique to your phone with the IMEI from a trusted seller, I can vouch for:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300425321069&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

* Enter the unlock code

* Enter the unlock code

Everythings back to normal.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuatha:
Do you actually need the goldcard?

I updated using the RUU on my PC, no goldcard and everything went fine. But my phone was never branded in the first place.

I would have thought that since it performs a full wipe, you wouldn't have needed anything like that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oursoul:
if your phone was never branded then why did you update using the RUU?

not only that if your phone was never branded then this issue shouldn't affect you

afaik you only need a goldcard if your phone is branded
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuatha:
I updated before the OTA update.

But since you guys had already debranded, what was the purpose of using the goldcard?

Shouldn't you have been able to update the same way I did?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oursoul:
Oh I see what you mean. Well since I already have a goldcard I just put it in, maybe I didn't need to? No harm done either way. I guess someone else will have to confirm that it can be installed without a goldcard.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuatha:
Fair enough, was just curious.

I cant actually purchase any apps from the market with this update, it just prompts me to sign in or create my Google Account everytime I hit buy on an app, try to sign in and it starts the process again.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hatticus:
In terms of the forthcoming Froyo update, what is my best option (currently suffering from the broken WiFi issue):

1. Reflash with my original RUU (1.15.405.4) and refuse the OTA update

OR

2. Reflash with the newer RUU and pay for the SIM unlock code?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oursoul:
Option 2 of course :)

When froyo comes out you'll probably have the same issue so you might as well unlock it now. When froyo comes out you're not likely to do an OTA update are you (I'm not anyway) so best its unlocked in preperation and you get to enjoy the bugfixed Eclair for a while.

I got a HTC Legend non-branded non-locked for my gf on friday. Saturday i updated it with the OTA update and now the Wifi dosnt work ( wont turn on)

Thnx in advance...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Asqueroso:
not sure what to do

o.k. so i unbranded my orange phone from 1.15.61.10 about 3 weeks ago and put the 1.15.405.4 ROM on my phone using the goldcard method and found all was working fine first time no issues.

today i did the OTA update of 1.21.405.2 and downloaded it to the phone but before the install i read the forum just to check what was in this update. after reading this thread and a few others i'm unsure if it is safe for me to install this update as i don't want to mess up the wi-fi etc....

because the phone downloaded it to my internal storage, it is now full and i'm seeing a performance drop. is there anyway to delete this from the memory and will i be able to update to froyo when it gets released if i stay with the 1.15.405.4 ROM.

but if i did update to 1.21.405.2 and the phone locks, if i get an unlock code will i have further issues updating the phone??

thanks in advance to anyone who can help :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oursoul:
Most probably not (in my modest opinion) since your phone will be permanently unlocked.

You may have more trouble updating to Froyo from 1.15 so its worth upgrading to 1.21 (in my modest opinion). People are complaining with all sorts of strage bugs in the upgrade, but I have no idea what they're on about, the upgrade is clearly enhanced and bug fixed and my phone is certainly better because of it.

(in my modest opinion)

good luck

oh I reccomend you use the ROM linked to here on XDA rather than use the OTA update which could kill you wifi, just put your goldcard in and run the RUU for 1.21 linked here... it's what I'm using now and it works great, you may have to unlock your phone but theres an ebay seller linked here on XDA that will do it for £9.95

read the recent relevent threads on 1.21 here on XDA and you'll learn everything you need to know.. like I did 2 days ago

good luck

(in my modest opinion)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aindow:
I got the code at 4.50pm and tested it with a Virgin sim card to test it out. The code works. I paid £9.25 for the code. There were others selling unlock codes for £8.99 but wanted to use one with a trusted feedback from people here.

I haven't re flashed with the new firmware yet and did an update check on the phone and it now says I'm up to date even though I am still on 1.15. Before unlocking it used to offer me the update to 1.21. Strange.

Is there anything else I should be aware of before I re flash. I know the whole situation about having to reinstall apps and backup contacts etc first. It's an Orange desire running a standard ROM btw.

Thanks, Rik.

My phone have been working great since i did the update (Debranded Orange phone) until yesterday, then i lost my signal and couldn't connect to any operator. Tried my sim in another phone and it worked great, tried other sim cards in my phone, but no luck.

Then today, i did a factory reset, and it worked again, but only for about 5-6 hours, then the same s**t again, and it frustrates me. What may cause this? I'm considering a reflash, what do you think?

EDIT: Did another factory reset now, but this time it didn't bring back my operator connection :(

EDIT2: Did also re-flash my phone with the latest rom from here, but still the same. I'm so angry right now, and i'm starting to fear that this is a hw malfunction. btw, i had to use the goldcard even though i already had the latest fw and radio, guess it's up to the serial number...

Solution for HTC Desires Static IP

Hi All,

I am a user from Spain of the HTC Desire.

After a brief investigation i realized about the problem. If you dissabled DHCP server in your router configuration and your HTC Desire is configured to use static IP, be sure that field DNS2 is filled too. If not, the Desire will try to ask your router (with DHCP disabled) for an IP and it will fail.

For me it has worked by informing field DNS2.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Not sure what you mean by that, but your goldcard is not affected by the previous update, so it's good to go again. The update is not installed on the memorycard, but rather on the internal memory. Only way to "ruin" your goldcard is to format it, so in that case you would have to go trough the goldcard procedure once more ;)
