[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
How old is the phone? If it's over 6 months, Orange won't touch it, in which case you send it to HTC and they don't need or care about the Stock Orange RUU, just a stock HTC RUU.

Also, in my experience, Orange have rarely ever cared about the firmware you're running when you send for repair. If you're within 6 months of getting the phone, then and only then will Orange deal with it. If they decide to deal with it it's a new for old swap on the doorstep. No-one will be checking it for weeks as it'll go into a big pile of phones that are assigned to refurbs. Someone will likely check the model number and revision, if it's from June/July 2010 they'll just replace the motherboard as those models are extremely faulty.

TL;DR?

In short, I wouldn't worry. If it's 6 months or Orange Care they'll swap your broken phone for a new phone on the doorstep. They won't be checking it there and then.

If it's with Orange Care Insurance, just call them and invent a scenario wherein you lost the phone. That's much easier anyway (because I've read legit accidental damage claims being refused by awkward phone staff, whereas they can't argue with lost) that way you don't have to worry about warranties and all that rubbish, and you'll get a new phone, battery and SD card. The backup battery is worth that alone!

Thanks very much for that helpful post Kryten!

I did a bit more reading about it last night and found that most people had just unrooted and restored to the official HTC rom and there had been no problem at all with the repair so that's what I'll do. I'm also interested to see if I still have the same problems on an official HTC rom.

I've found the thread with the official untouched HTC roms but I'm unsure which one to use, as there is no Orange version I'll need to use one of the WWE roms but there are a few to choose from, would anyone be so kind as to have a quick look at this thread and tell me which one I should use please?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695667

I got my phone, a black HTC Desire, in August 2010, is that likely to be from the faulty batch? I'm on an 18 month contract so I'm out of the 6 month window but still have a way to go so it looks like Orange will just refer me to HTC.

Thanks again for your reply:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
You'll need to create a goldcard if you haven't already. There's lots of tutorials on how.

Also, if you're using the latest Alpharev hboot, you'll need to downgrade that as well. Details on there website.

The RUU you want is either 2.29.405.2 or 2.29.405.5. These are the standard HTC RUUs. Just flash when in fastboot :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
Yes, there's a good chance you have the faulty motherboard model. I got mine in June 2010 and it would reboot whenever the phone/battery got to 36C and whenever I tried to overclock. The OC thing I figured was just my phone not liking any OC, which was fine, but the reboot thing was annoying. First I blamed the ROMs I was using, then I threw the phone at the wall!

When I got the new phone from my insurance I stuck the RCMixS ROM I had on there and it was noticeably faster, it would OC to 1.2GHz and I've had temps of 42C and the phone seemed to actually run slightly better at those temps (could be just me being silly).

Also, yes to downgrade you need to flash a stock hboot if you used Alpharev to S-OFF. IF you don't know what S-OFF is then that's ok, don't worry about that. Make a GoldCard with the instructions at GiffGaff and just run the RUU to become stock. It doesn't matter which RUU you use, as far as I know, just as long as it's stock. You don't need to be on the latest.

Also, when you get your new phone: Pretty sure you don't need a GoldCard if you use this free unlock tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943726

I used it here when I got my new phone recently and it worked a charm.

EDIT:

NEVER under estimate the value of the £6pm Orange Care Insurance!

Okay guys, I got my phone back and seeing as people here were so helpful in getting my phone back to stock so I could return it in the first place, it's time to repay the favour to the community!

HTC returned my phone with the original Orange rom. So, is there anything I can do to somehow extract the rom so others can use it? I don't know if it's possible, maybe I'm still being too noobish, but if anyone knows of a way it can be done before I re-root and start flashing roms again please let me know!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
You could do a NANDroid backup, but I'm not even sure that's the most effective way of doing it. I think the reason there currently aren't any Orange RUU ROM's is because they're hard to capture and Orange don't release an RUU like HTC do!

Chances are, also, that it's not your phone/motherboard anymore and will be a new one!

I think Amon-RA recovery and Titanium Backup do NAND backup's, but I'm not sure. You can root on the Orange ROM, I believe, without a problem, so go ahead and run Unrevoked so you can root and get a custom recovery and do a backup.

Though, you'd be much better starting a new thread titled something like "Would like to back up the Orange UK ROM for the community, how do I do this?" as that'll catch people's eye better and more to the point that your original title here :)

I just got my phone and purposely used as much stuff to kill the battery as fast as I could. I didn't expect it to take so long to charge, it is like barely half way after an hour +.
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
For me like 3 hours to 3.5 total...
[Vibrant General] Mark271:
Is it that necessary to let my phone full charge before taking it off the charger and messing with it.

It's so awesome and I am just sitting here looking at it.
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
Yeah, about 3-3.5 hours for full charge from about 25%. Play away with it plugged in and enjoy!
[Vibrant General] Mark271:
Aren't you supposed to allow it to fully charged for optimal battery life? Like breaking in the battery?
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
I suggest letting it get a full charge before taking it off the charger, but hell, play with the damned thing while its on the charger, its an awesome device. :)
[Vibrant General] MrRuckus:
It also depends on if its plugged in via USB to a PC or via the included AC adapter. PC Im sure takes longer. I just plug it into my PC every night via USB and its fully charges when I get up. I think the charge time is prolly 4 hours or so.

Atleast this device charges when plugged into a USB port on a PC. There are some phones where the USB does not give enough juice to even charge. I have a Touch Pro 2 that I use for work and it wont charge when connected to a PC via USB as it states its not enough power to charge it and run it at the same time. Lame.

[Vibrant General] Shagman68:
I just noticed a flaw in the charging cycle last night. I put my phone on the charger when I went to bed. Halfway thru my sleep I heard the beep denoting that it was fully charged, showing that stupid message to un-plug it. In the morning, it was still plugged in, but I had 50% battery and the charging icon was not lit saying that it was plugged in. WTF, I want it to stay FLOAT charging while it is plugged in, not waking up to a half dead battery in the morning.

[General Questions and Answers] Miami_Son:
You can't just add TF to an existing ROM, it has to be in it from the factory. Check the subforum for your specific device for a cooked ROM with TF3D in it, but most chefs are using a version of Sense these days.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shahriar5252:
I have a CDMA Touch Pro2 for Sprint running on stock ROM (wm6.5 with HTC Sense). Everyone knows that WinMo is notorious of RAM leaking.

Mobile Opera v9.7 build 35964 takes up about 5 MB of RAM with 3-5 tabs open and wm6.5 forces it to exit when I minimize it even when I have sufficient free RAM (at least 30 MB) available. Other programs, however, are not forced to exit even if they take up more RAM than Opera. One example of such a program that stays minimized and is not forced to exit on low RAM is Sptint Navigation, which takes up about 8 MB of RAM.

Does anyone know how to tame wm6.5 RAM management to prevent it from forcing Opera from exiting on low RAM? I prefer a registry solution to this problem, and I don't wan to install any new versions of Opera because this problem is in all of them. Thanks.

[Q] How to Root Evo 3.26.651.3

Hi,

I'm stuck on the leaked Froyo update, had tried simple root and unrevoked and not luck, does anybody knows how to root HTC EVo 4G Froyo 2.2

software version 3.26.651.3 (beginer here)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
Not possible on that version yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingakuma:
for now their is nothing you can do untill either HTC sends an OTA update to allow you to get the newest OTS Update or untill someone figures out a new root method for 2.2
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgruendler:
God forbid a question go in the Q&A Forum.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rutter9:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riptide9:
????????????????????? uh What?

Q - Is there enough demand for someone to develop a root for the new Froyo on the Evo?

A - Of Course... really doesn't even need to be asked

Q - I wonder if everyone who wanted to be rooted did not update on the OTA Froyo.

A - Everyone that wanted to be rooted, were rooted, and probably upgraded to the rooted .3 pre-release and then upgraded to the rooted .6 final release

Q - I did not see any reason to root when it seemed that all the roms had issues before the update

A- What? You can root without flashing a rom... Why? Many reasons of which one is to be able to tether without paying Sprint a stupid fee for using the wifi router which doesn't need a custom rom.

But I don't quite know what you mean by "all" the roms had problems.... Simply not true, Most of the roms are and have been nothing more than stock roms with root access, with Sprint crap removed or mabey small changes in icons, lock screens, or rosies. The only time people start having issues in when you get into overclocking and changing kernels for reasons like higher fps's or 5 point multitouch. I have been running 2.1 roms with nothing broken or not working and 2.2 roms (.3 and .6) with everything working fine(4g, wifi tether, fps fix, overclocked, 5 point multitouch, etc)

The only people at this point that are waiting for a 2.2 root are the people that were too stupid impatient to wait 2 hrs before the .3 was rooted and reverted to stock to flash the pre-release 2.2 or people that updated first before realizing how much nicer it is to have a rooted phone.

Everyday new EVO owners are bringing there new phones home by the thousands and getting online trying to see how they can get root. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out that the devs here have found a way to root a new 2.2 EVO before you even read this. :cool:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogic6:

There was an older gentleman there purchasing an Evo. I felt a little sad because I knew that poor phone would never get hax'd. The manager instructed the sales person to charge the phone and make sure to run the update after activation.

My guess is that the majority of Evos from this point on will come with Froyo, so I'm sure there will be an effort to root.
