Double check your goldcard,.... then double check your drivers,... if still fail, try windows xp.

@ddot: i have double checked gold card, drivers are fine and i done know anybody that still has xp
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Try with a virtual machine,... Virtual Box and VMWare are two good ones. You will have to get XP from somewhere though.

Sorry I dont know what else to suggest.

[Desire General] townsejl:
Hi,

I've just been in the process of upgrading my phone - an orange unbranded unlocked (but not rooted) phone - coming from the generic 1.15 rom. I went through the process that has been documented all over the forums - OTA update which then stops the wifi working, followed by the full RUU update which then seems to have completed the upgrade successfully and wifi is working again. Strangely I didn't get asked for a sim unlock code again, so I'm thinking that if you have already unlocked your phone prior to update, then it does keep the setting.

Now to the interesting bit. I've just attempted to update a friends desire - same status and rom 1.15 as mine prior to the OTA attempt. However, this time i put the goldcard in BEFORE running the OTA update and guess what - i got an 'upgrade successful' message and no problems whatsoever with the wifi. Checking his firmware/software info, all is exactly the same as my phone including the kernal (which people had previously mentioned was the thing stopping the wifi starting). So it looks like the wifi problems we have seen have been caused by the OTA needing the goldcard in to update the kernal!!!

Sorry if I'm rambling, but i expected to be spending the evening setting my mates phone up from scratch and it now looks like i won't need to.

One thing i can't confirm (as both phones were already unlocked with an unlock code) is whether the OTA upgrade will sim lock non-unlocked phones.

Hope this info is of help to people.

Cheers.
[Desire General] oursoul:
Makes sense.. well done, have a cookie :)
[Desire General] aindow:
Nice, just a shame I'm about 20 miles from my gold card and pc. Lol.

I wonder of this means having to use the gold card EVERY time an update is released?

[Desire General] townsejl:
Probably only if its going to update the kernal, but i think for safety's sake its probably better to do it with it in. I'm just wondering though - can a goldcard actually be used as storage too or does it need to be fully blank? Mine has some backup directories which the phone wrote to it after the original unbranding and it doesn't seem to have stopped it working for this upgrade so it might be possible...
[Desire General] vdude_1:
If this works for more people, you've done a great service here!

Unfortunately I had the problem and went through the whole purchasing a code route but hope this works for anybody else looking to upgrade :)
[Desire General] biemsy:
Yes. I just made the card I was using in the phone anyway a goldcard. You can ignore the formatting bit as it's already formatted as fat32. I backed up just in case, but I didn't lose any data in the process. If you screw up doing the hex write to the card you could do your data in though.
[Desire General] townsejl:
I suppose this could explain why some ex-orange desires' have been working fine with the OTA upgrade - would be interesting to know if those who haven't had any issues were the ones like yourself who's storage card doubles up as their goldcard.
[Desire General] AdamLC:
It would be interesting to see if this works! I am waiting for a solution for this so I can unbrand my orange desire! Anyone want to be guinea pigs? :rolleyes:
[Desire General] oursoul:
umm mm

do it

do it now
[Desire General] El Massman:
Would love to know if it works on locked handsets. I've been holding off on upgrading purely for that reason. I always assumed everyone was using a gold card every time they upgraded anyway so if they aren't, perhaps that is something to do with it.
[Desire General] Splather:
Hello, just to confirm I also have Orange branded Desire, debranded and running stock ROM using T Mobile sim - sim unlocked it a while back with code off HTCcode site.

Did OTA without goldcard, had WiFi issue. Ran RUU with goldcard in which solved the WiFi problem, but this time it did not ask for simunlock code.. Did this on Saturday before I went to the seaside and had fish and chips.

So - confirmation that it works. And the fish and chips were lovely, by the way.

I will hazard a guess that you will still have to unlock your phone, it just means that your WiFi doesn't break if you do the OTA update.

I could be wrong, am waiting for someone to test that theory.

Sooo the next person to read this who has a Debranded 1.15 Locked Orange handset and is prepared for the update... Put your goldcard in, perform the OTA update and tell us what happens!

(the worst that can happen is your phone will be locked like the rest of ours and you'll have to buy a code for a tenner, but then your phone will be unlocked which isn't a bad thing)
[Desire General] biemsy:
Thought I'd take one for the team and give it a try.

You are correct. Wifi works, but the phone is locked.
[Desire General] AdamLC:
Thats excellent news! Might be mine at the weekend in this case :D
[Desire General] oursoul:
:)

Nice one for clearing that one up and confirming the OP's solution.

So its a definite true n true fact that anyone who wants to update their deBranded handset will have to unlock it no matter what.. apart from that, as long as you have your goldcard in everything else should be plain sailing.
[Desire General] svmpatel:
I concurr, I did the exact same, i'm on Orange UK with a debranded Orange Desire (generic 1.15) and I use my goldcard as a normal SD card in my desire all the time. I did the upgrade from 1.15 to 1.21 (OTA) and everything went smoothly with no wifi issues. It still network and sim locked the phone after update to which I purchased a code from mobileunlocked . com and had to enter it twice to unlock (once for network unlock and again for sim unlock). Now I have a nice shiney desire running 1.21 firmware unrooted and sim unlocked :)
[Desire General] aindow:
Will be updating mine later today when I get my gold card from home later. Already unlocked it too so that shouldn't be an issue.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] neurocutie:
(TP2 on MightyROM, but this pertains to WM in general...)

Is there any good way to change the speed dialing behavior? I've never liked the way that speed dialing works, where you have to press the *last* speed dial "button" for a certain time period (i.e. if its "9", you must press 9 down for several seconds, but if its "23", you must quickly press 2 but then press only 3 for several seconds).

It is way too easy to mess up the speed dialing algorithm and then you're left with digits that you must delete. WM being as laggy as it is, and with the uncertainties of the touch screen response, the actual REAL TIME that you must depress the *last* digit is all over the place... usually it is 1-2 seconds, but with lag, sometimes it takes 5+ seconds before the dialer responds.

The worse aspect of the design is that if you simply dial 9 TALK, that DOESN'T engage speed dialing ... it thinks you want to dial the phone number "9"... how stupid is that???

At minimum I'd like to see a speed dial mod that knows that if you are only dialing 1-2 digits (1-99) followed by TALK, that it assumes it is a speed dial (like most other phones). Leave in the stupid timing algorithm if you must, but allow the alternative of 1-99 + TALK.

Apple did a good job selling it's next product, as usual. it announced a product and with it a firm release date in the very near future.

In contrast, Google screwed up the FroYo release as much as they possibly can. Google I/O announced FroYo on May 20th, with no firm date for release. That was just a few days short of three weeks ago.

Okay, so I am not worried about it to the point that I am ready to go all iPhone on your butts, I am just pointing out that Google has a lot to learn about rolling out a product.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
They absolutely do.

Google is acting like a bunch of freaking amateurs.

I'm not the least bit interested in the iPhone, but I am jealous that they guys running Apple seem more professional and capable than do the folks running Google/Android.

It's embarrassing.
[Nexus One General] Talderon:
+1

Honestly, I feel the same way. Google I/O was great, but it was all just fluff. We didn't get anything solid. Nothing. Google can take some lessons here about giving people something they can hold on too. "Few Weeks" is not enough. I think one of the main reasons that people aren't out in front of Google with pitch forks and torches is that they "leaked" a 2.2 early release so we have a taste of it and something to play with.

All in all, I agree with you 100%, Google has a lot to learn.
[Nexus One General] attn1:
On the flip side -

Apple introduced iAds today like they were the greatest thing since sliced bread. Well, hold the phone (lousy pun intended - deal), those little banners consume data. No biggie data is unlimit- whoa wait. Not it's not. Not anymore on Apple's carrier of choice in the USA.

I don't care how little data those little banners use - to promote a system that not only allows their use but encourages it at the expense of a user locked into a tiered data plan is reprehensible. Does anyone else see an ethical problem with this?

Then there is the practical issue - a user is at the hairy edge of his allotment without buying more data - well except for those pesky little banners that put him over the top. Nice job, Steve Jobs, you butthole.

Likewise, I think any Android PAID app should have all ad banners removed. I know this is a common practice, but it should be a rule. No app with banners should be available at all without a paid counterpart without banners, IMO.
[Nexus One General] player911:
Well sure we don't have a solid release date yet... but we also get more updates then 1 per year. Think on the bright side. At least Froyo 2.2 is already out, if not officially. I don't understand your complaining. Android can already do what the iPhone is just not catching up to.

If our Androids ran on Apple time... we wouldn't see 2.2 until next January. Again, be happy you don't have to wait that long. Be lucky we get what we get. Plus 2.1 runs great anyway.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
at the rate Google is going.....
[Nexus One General] Talderon:
No, not complaining, stating some facts.

Apple = Solid release dates announced

Google = Vague mentions to releases that are coming "soon".
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
What should Google do? Follow the Apply model? Announce it 4 months ago, which is what Apple did, then wait until you release a new phone (which actually have hard dates) to launch the new OS... so if Google did this, we would be waiting until the Nexus2 to get FroYo. Sounds great guys! Not...

Take a nap or something.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
They should have STFU until they had a hard release date.

Period.

And they sure as hell shouldn't have released it to the freaking press who didn't pay a dime for their Nexus.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Stop whining please.

It makes the rest of us Nexus One owners look bad.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Simple facts...

Apple= Announcing new phone!

Google= Software update

Two different things. Google gave a firm date for the Nexus One.

And when has Apple ever given a firm date for a software update/bug fix? Oh, wait, they haven't... they have only ever given firm dates for new phone releases, and then said the exact same stuff Google has, that the new OS will be available shortly for other models.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
Dude you're responsible for yourself. I'm not going to shut up because you are insecure.
[Nexus One General] attn1:
I am just saying that Apple has their act together when it comes to product launches. Google does not. People had a much better understanding of what's coming and when with Apple's Keynote than they did at Google's. It left a lot less speculation and release anxiousness on the table. That makes for happier customers.

No doubt I'd rather be using the version of FroYo we are already looking at than iOS4. That wasn't my point.
[Nexus One General] britoso:
Since Apple is now in the ad business (some vague 60% number thrown out there), why not get into the hardware business google?

HTC is a good manufacturer but lacks the innovation needed. Sony designs well but moves at a snails pace and makes horrible decisions.

[Nexus One General] ChillRays:
I wouldn't be upset really. Tom Petty did say it best when he said "waiting is the hardest part". However if Froyo isn't finished, then we need to sit back and chill for a little while longer. I would be really mad if we get it (example) July 4th weekend and absolutely nothing has been added or changed.

Looks like we are all in wait and see mode..
[Nexus One General] arkavat:
Google needs to get it's act together on android. Microsoft is going to come after them, not apple not RIM. Microsoft and Google are aiming for OEMs and OEMs have already complained about google's way of releasing android updates.

I was shocked when Andy Rubin said that they don't have road-maps for version release. Google needs to look at Mozilla for their planning.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
Rather than try and start a flame war, just post your opinion like I did and move one. If you cannot handle an opposing opinion, the internet may not be for you. If you're getting tense reading my posts, take a valium, but I will post any way I want(within forum rules of course).
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
It's ok attn1... I know if I was always screaming "the sky is falling the sky is falling" about the release of Froyo I'd be a little tense too ;)
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
Apple produces products behind closed doors. They can announce things when they want to with full control.

Google produces products based on a wholly open source base. The features will be visible and talked about as soon as they put code back into the open repositories. They also need to put the source back before they release a new update so that the other manufacturers who use their open source code base can start doing builds and testing on their products. Thus, Google's open model ties them to a world where their new stuff will leak before it is ready to have an exact date for final release.

Google could go by hard release dates, but they'd have to work in secret and that would make Android less than what it is today. They might also get in the habit of sending the police after anyone who leaks info on their products. ;-)

And, what exactly is the down-side of advance notice of new features in the next release? People pining for the release date? I don't really see the need to make Android more of a closed ecosystem (with all sorts of material negative ramifications for the utility of our Android-based products) simply because people are annoyed with the uncertainty of release dates...

Re: Apple iOS4 announced today has hard release dates/Froyo release date still eludes

I can't believe how angry some of you guys are over this. It's like you've never been out in the real world or something. Sorry.
[Nexus One General] attn1:
I have watched them, and I understand how open source works.

To release anything based on open source or any other code, you need to stick a stake in the ground and develop a plan to release something based on a branch in the code. I work in software development, and there is absolutely no difference in how proprietary code in developed; good developers are innovative by nature, and you can't project what they are going to come up with next. What you can do is find a way to inject their work into the next possible branch.

I could care less how Google roadmaps AOSP branches or Nexus One OTA updates based on whatever branches. I do care about how they manage the release of those updates. No set schedule for releases? Fine. I don't care if a release is five times a year, once a year or once every two years. That's just not the point. Manage properly what you do release.
[Nexus One General] attn1:
Please don't mistake a good argument for anger. Good governments are based on good arguments.
[Nexus One General] Pitnefor:
ironic how google is the one acting like they've never been out in the real world with the way they handle android/nexus one
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
There is no argument here. Both sides have presented arguments, neither side accepted anything - so there's no discussion whatsoever, just an attempt to force a point of view, completely ignoring the other side. Making it 18 pages doesn't imply anything about relevance or correctness of this point of view, and considering that the amount of people forth / against it is highly in favor of "against", the only thing that's holding the thread is the OP willingness to fight any attempt of changing his mind.

So, I have a productive suggestion (which will probably be treated as this whole thread, so I'm not holding my breath). Whoever wants to complain about Google's ways, will do it directly to Google by any available channels, go work as their product manager, or go buy an iPhone (yeah, that's a scare, right up Google's ass. I'm sure they're shaking in their beds). The rest will patiently wait for an official upgrade, as they did before, without trying to guess if it'll come tomorrow, in a week, or in a month, enjoy it when it comes, and leave the XDA server space for things more useful for the community.
