[XPERIA X10 Android Development] davethedroid:
unfortunately i think your phone has downloaded and update for another phone google t-mobile pulse
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
I think so as well. Question is, why? Lol
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rvictorg:
whoa...really bizzare. Thanks for the update nonetheless.

I was debating about debranding to UK T-Mo just in case that was a 2.1 update, you never know with all the Sony Style hype and AT&T launch today, I have a hard time understanding how SE could be so incompetent to launch the X10 in the US at this stage with 1.6 but looks like that's gonna happen in a couple hours.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] realunited123:
So it finished? What is inside? is It android 2.1 update we are waiting for?

OMG!! I have turned into one of those!!!! :p
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] davethedroid:
no its an update for a t-mobile branded phone called the pulse hence pulse android 2.1 update /thread
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] realunited123:
LOL yeah. it was mentioned in the thread.. I just thought to "stick my tounge out" for no reason..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
I just find it funny. My phone is not branded, I'm not with t-mobile, nor do I have a Pulse. Not only did it grab the update, it did it automatically. That's not cool.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dundun1701:
What is exactly the update for?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
Good question. How would I find out?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dundun1701:
Is there any different in baseband, or your FW ver?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] khanem:
did the update install?

what's your rom version?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
It was a zip file. Nothing installed.

Phone info:

Model number: X10a

Firmware version: 1.6

Baseband version: 1.1.27

Kernel version: 2.6.29-rel semc-android@SEMC #2

Build number: R2BA023

Nothing installed so it's all normal/the same as it's been. It was just a zip file that I noticed downloading in my notification bar when I turned my screen on. It said it was downloading from the UK T-Mobile site. Other than that, I have no clue about the file itself. I'll look into posting the file tonight for anyone who wants to have a peek at it :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ooidort:
Why on earth do you people keep on making threads with "android 2.1" titles? You'll get your answers/attention with titles that don't cause a heart attack for people like me who actually wait for some real news. :mad:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nekkidtruth:
If you felt "Pulse Android21.zip" meant we had 2.1, there's not much I can do for you since nowhere in the title does it state "Android 2.1 on my x10!!!!!!!!!!!!".

Why on earth do "you people" keep thinking every discussion of 2.1 automatically means "WHEN DO WE GET IT?!!"

Perhaps reading may have assisted you in this case ;)
[Desire Android Development] bloodmeg:
Actually, I have just managed to downgrade and debrand my SLED Desire from Vodafone's hboot 0.83 & 1.24 firmware to HTC stock 0.80 and 1.21.405.2 (without wrecking my screen in the process). I'll post a detailed description after I'm done doing the victory dance.
[Desire Android Development] :
@bloodmeg - you must have an AMOLED screen. SLCD will

NOT

work on HBOOT 0.80.
[Desire Android Development] bloodmeg:
Ah, you're right, I got a bit carried away there. I did not downgrade the HBOOT, just the firmware to 1.21 (with 1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09 which was reported to work with SLCD).

Thanks for correcting me.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
The RUU flash process usually checks the installed software version and refuses to work if it's higher than what you're trying to install. This is why the froyo downgrade reports itself with a fake version.

edit: Although thinking about it, it would be possible to root the phone, put in a fake version into the misc partition (e.g. 1.21.405.2), and then that should trick the RUU checker into thinking you have that version installed.
[Desire Android Development] bloodmeg:
Which is exactly what I did.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Can you post the precise steps you used so that other people can do the same?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Added minor edits to take into account the procedure for rooting the phone without a screen.
[Desire Android Development] brickinthewall:
Thank you

Thanks. Finally got my phone debranded. It was bought 2 days ago, branded to O2 Ireland. Don`t have it rooted, but now I'm downloading froyo on my phone. Don't have to wait for the O2 to release it.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I've realised to downgrade from Vodafone branding (or any software version higher than 1.21.xx) you just need to run the update.zip fix rather than mess around with the misc partition yourself. It sets your software version to 1.15.405.3, so any RUU with later software will work. Obviously with an SLCD screen you still have to flash the correct RUU.
[Desire Android Development] zakkain:
How do I implement the .img linked to in Question 2? Do I put it on the root of my SD card before I run unrevoked3?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
No, it must be on your computer when you run unrevoked3. Select it from the file menu - you have to do this before you plug the phone in.
[Desire Android Development] lasitha85:
Hi How can become 100% stock with Asia_WWE RUU with a SLCD screen.. current Asia_WWE does not currently compatible with SLCD
[Desire Android Development] debully:
This is a good informative FAQ and I wish I had found it last week before OTA'ing my SLCD. This IMO should be sticky, have an additional question for determining AMOLED or SLCD, have a question for determining HBOOT and be renamed slightly so as not to alienate 0.92 HBOOT users.

Of course, you're welcome to just ignore me, whadda I know?

Many thanks for your work,

debully.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I've added a couple of bits. The thing about HBOOT 0.92 is that you only get it at the moment if you upgrade to froyo yourself - I don't think phones are being shipped with froyo yet. As for being sticky, I don't know who decides those things.
[Desire Android Development] zebidee:
Hello Teppic

Thanks for the write up in post 1, Im thinking of unrooting my desire and downloading OTA Froyo, can you give me a link to a "generic RUU" in order to do this.

Many Thanks
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You can find the links in the first post. If you want froyo (no rooting) just install the froyo RUU directly.
[Desire Android Development] monyozt:
+1

looking for this too
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
As it states:

Q. Which RUUs are safe to use with an SLCD screen?

A. The two mentioned here. All other currently available RUUs will stop the screen from working.
[Desire Android Development] tncitu:

[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Which update.zip file are you using? And are you in clockworkmod recovery?
[Desire Android Development] tncitu:

select update.zip

it starts but then error status 7 :(
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
That will not work. You need to follow the instructions in the FAQ.
[Desire Android Development] EDnSKY:
missed out the .img file

Hi all,

Noob here so please be gentle !!

As in the above quote i have the correct .img file for my phone and put it in the folder where all the unrevoked stuff was. I proceeded to use unrevoked but being a bit dim i missed the bit with selecting the .img from the file menu. Unrevoked did its stuff but obviously i couldn't see the recovery screen because of my **** up with the .img file. I do have superuser permission in the apps list.

What exactly does "select it from the file menu" mean ( how do i do this?) and can i run unrevoked again but this time using the .img file correctly?

I think i've explained it right ??

Any help much appreciated

EDnSKY
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You can run unrevoked3 again to install the updated custom recovery image.

Start your phone up, enable USB debugging, but don't plug it in. Run unrevoked3 and go to the File menu, where you can select the updated image file from your computer. Once done, plug the phone in and it will automatically do the rest.

Some people have had problems getting into recovery sometimes after installing the updated image. It could be because of bugs. Taking out the battery and trying again usually works.
[Desire Android Development] EDnSKY:
Hi Teppic74 thanks for your help.

I will have another go at it when i finish work today.

I think i found where i went wrong in that i probably had the phone connected before i used unrevoked3.

If i understand it right, running unrevoked3 without the phone connected will give me the "file menu" option ?

cheers mate

EDnSKY
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Yeah, if you plug the phone in you won't be able to change the recovery image.
[Desire Android Development] EDnSKY:
Thanks mate for your help - now i know where i went wrong !;)
[Desire Android Development] tncitu:
i have done it again in clockworkmod recovery..

update.zip file is

http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip

Any help much appreciated
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Please read the FAQ. It doesn't say to apply that zip file anywhere, and it won't work on your phone.
[Desire Android Development] tncitu:
thank you very much, i have read the FAQ then follow correctly and every thing is ok. my phone is now with froyo 2.2 :)

realy thank you for your help and your effort:)
[Desire Android Development] monyozt:
rooting with custom clockwork slcd recovery works fine.. after downloading rom manager, i cant enter my recovery image because rom manager (maybe) detec my phone as Amoled.. not slcd...
[Desire Android Development] ajaffarali:
I think I've messed up my Vodafone branded desire and can certainly use help from you guys. I used unrevoked but with not with the custom image, Now, I can get the phone and LCD to work in HBOOT (I have 0.93) but I cannot find an RUU to update it to. Using a Vodafone image says its an older image and using he generic gives me a 140 error. Cant use unRevoked either as it says some file not found in /sbin directory. Sadly, I never made a Gold Card either
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
What do you want to do? What software is installed currently?
[Desire Android Development] ajaffarali:
Would like to get the phone back to a working condition basically and then try and upgrade. Not sure what software is installed as after booting, the LCD disappears unless I boot into HBOOT
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I can't help you if I don't know what you've done to your phone - what was on it before or what you tried to install.
[Desire Android Development] ajaffarali:
Thanks for your responses. Here is what I know- please let me know if this helps:

If I hold the volume down and press power, I can see the HBOOT-0.83.0001 screen. From here, I went into Fastboot and connected the device through USB to a Windows PC. The screen on the Desire is still visible and says Fastboot USB.

I then try to flash "RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5.." since this is a Vodafone unit. The device is recognized by the Windows ROM Update utility and tells me the "From" Image Version is 1.24.161.3 and the "To" Image Version is 1.19.161.5. I click on next. It starts the "Sending" process , then Updating Signature but then gives a Bootloader Version Error saying Please get correct ROM update.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Ok, you can't flash that RUU directly because it's older, and it wouldn't work anyway as it doesn't support SLCD. The instructions are in the first post, just upgrade with the froyo RUU.
[Desire Android Development] pervywurvy:
edit:

fixed!
[Desire Android Development] pervywurvy:
double post
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You don't need USB debugging enabled to use an RUU, as it doesn't require the phone's software to be running at all (you can run an RUU from the phone in fastboot mode).

An error when applying an RUU is probably driver related. Make sure HTC Sync is installed.
[Desire Android Development] pervywurvy:
Thank you VERY MUCH!

appreciate the info....it was so simple yet I didn't know.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
AmonRA recovery now supports SLCD, so the first post is updated with the link.
[Desire Android Development] horst0815:
let's say, i use clockwork 2.0.5.1 at the moment, and flashed it via unrevoke onto my desire... can i just install the amonra thingie OVER the existing clockwork recovery?
[Desire Android Development] balthor80:
Hi !

I have a desire with HBOOT 0.92 + SLCD + FROYO OTA.

It's possible to root ?

thx
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Read the first post?
[Desire Android Development] alwoflip:
Thanks

Thanks teppic74 for the FAQs.They really helped sort out my O2 HBoot .83 Desire.Now unbranded unlocked and upgraded to Froyo.I did get the USB driver alert on my win7 laptop but everything went ok using desktop with xp. Best thread on the net.Thanks again.:D
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Yes, just run unrevoked3 again using the custom image. It will install the new image onto the recovery partition.
[Desire Android Development] balthor80:
yes, but there is only one technique ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=750852
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Yes, there is no other way.
[Desire Android Development] Audioboxer:
Whenever I go into recovery my HTC always locks up on the htc logo.

I've ran RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe to unbrand from O2.

The only time I can seem to get into recovery is when I first root it and it leaves you on the recovery menu.

What tends to cause lockups going into recovery?

0.83 here.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
My phone will often lock up going into recovery too, it seems a common problem. If you take the battery out and try again it usually works.

You could also try installing AmonRA recovery instead, maybe that will get rid of the problem.
[Desire Android Development] Audioboxer:
I'll keep trying thanks.

Is locking up a common issue or is it just for us 0.80+ users? (meaning clockwork/amonra updates may help?)
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I haven't checked really but would guess it's a problem with this version of clockworkmod since I had no problems with stock recovery.
[Desire Android Development] monyozt:
as i said before, it will happen if you install or open ROM manager as it will detect your phone as AMOLED desire not SLCD desire.. you can try this to prove :

-root using Clockword-SLCD recovery images then don't open or install ROM manager (you'll get working recovery images)

-root using Clockword-SLCD recovery images then open or install ROM manager then update it (when it asking to download lastest version). reboot and you'll stuck on HTC screen. sometimes you'll get this images when boot into recovery from ROM manager.. just my IMHO

you have to pres anykey and you'll get this error msg
[Desire Android Development] Audioboxer:
Thanks for the tips, so the solution for now is not to open rom manager?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
The lock ups are not linked to this, that is a separate issue.
[Desire Android Development] Gumica:
Guys, I have another question.. I am still not sure whether I have an AMOLED or SLCD display, so I was wondering what would happen if i would start rooting my desire with this method and I have an AMOLED display, and otherwise what could happen if I started doing the normal procedure with SLCD display inside?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
It won't make any difference for the rooting part, but the custom recovery that unrevoked3 installs by default doesn't support SLCD screens. That will only affect recovery, nothing else, and you can fix it as the faq explains.
[Desire Android Development] monyozt:
for me, im using Amonra recovery..
[Desire Android Development] monyozt:
i hope TS put this information on FAQ on page one, so no more question about "do i have AMOLED or SLCD screen?"

[youtube]LqkMxWEAG_E[/youtube]

[youtube]gUF4dLVdFKc[/youtube]​

or you can see your box... (see on Display information)

AMOLED

SLCD

left : SLCD Right : AMOLED

​
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I've created a simple tool, which works only in Linux currently, that will downgrade stock froyo to stock 2.1 and works on both SLCD and AMOLED screens and any version of HBOOT. It will downgrade the phone in 5-10 mins and will let you immediately root with unrevoked3 if you want to.

It requires no intervention (other than pressing the power button to flash) and doesn't break the screen for SLCD phones in the process.

I'm testing it at the moment, and will upload it to a fileserver later.
[Desire Android Development] ajaffarali:
Thanks for your help and I apologize the delay in answering as I didn't have access to the the Internet for a few days. The upgrade to Froyo mentions that "Just insert your goldcard and run this generic RUU", however, I didn't create a Goldcard for this phone. Will this still work for me?

Edit- That didnt work: I get a Error 131: Customer ID error
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
It won't work without a goldcard, which is what that error message is saying.
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
i am very interested in such a tool
[Desire Android Development] Sprinker:
I would be extremely interested as well for my slcd desire.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I've uploaded the utility for testing.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=768256
[Desire Android Development] ajaffarali:
Got it working. Didn't realize that I could create a Gold card even though I couldn't get the phone to boot. At least it managed to get the ID after which I removed the SD and used an SD card reader to create the Gold Card. And then the Froyo upgrade installed.

Now, I shall try your downgrade utility. Thanks very much for the help.

[Desire Android Development] mac49:
Many thanks teppic74!

Just a quickie to say many thanks teppic74.

I had an Orange branded HTC Desire with 0.83 bootloader, software version 1.26.XX.XX or similar and suspected SLCD screen.

1. I tried a whole bunch of methods to debrand and got 140 errors etc. Deduced it was something to do with the 0.83 boot loader and got a bit cheesed when posts in other forums suggested that with a 0.83 bootloader I was sunk. All of this was done with a goldcard installed in the phone. Then I hit on your thread.

2. I followed your instructions at the top of this thread to get to 1.21.405.2. However, unrevoked 3 was a no-go on my Windows 7 and XP machines, probably driver related. I uninstalled HTC Sync but to no avail. Went with a Mac and rooted with unrevoked 3 and the custom image as you describe.

3. Installed the update.zip from shadowchild.nl using the information in your FAQ and installed 1.21.405.2 from a Windows 7 machine. I then got a phone locked message on rebooting to the unbranded ROM and thought I might have to purchase an unlock code.

4. I soldiered on without a sim card in the phone and installed 2.2 using the Apply sdcard:update.zip method described at geekword.net/manually-install-froyo-htc-desire/ (sorry can't post links as I'm a new registrant).

5. Popped the sim card back in and my original SD card, rebooted and I now have a phone with 2.2 and without the need to purchase an unlock code.

Many thanks again, couldn't have done it without you!
[Desire Android Development] Crof75:
i'm stupid :D

I've unrooted my desire with the wrong RUU and so I've the blank screen... (I know, I'm stupid :D )

re-flashing with the right RUU or with the generic Froyo in the first post can solve my problem?

Thanx!
[Desire Android Development] ownjoouk:
Hi guys,

EDIT: OK, so I just bit the bullet and did it.

Unrevoked stopped at the waiting 5 seconds because windows sucks and the phone hung.

I pulled the battery, booted to hboot and then recovery and I seem to have Amon RA recovery.

Has this worked then, despite the fact unrevoked hung?

I have just got my desire today (UK T-mobile).

I've had a look and I have hboot 0.75 and it's stock 2.1.

I also assume it's an SLCD due to the fact it has only just been made and i can slightly see Backlight in the top left of the screen.

Am I ok to just use unrevoked with SLCD compatible recovery?

Wasn't sure as this FAQ says hboot 0.83 and 0.92.

Thanks.

Repairing my desire from Blank Screen

Hey guys, bricked my SLCD desire. Trying to get it working again, the RUU's give the 131 customer id error. My thinking is that its either to do with windows (win7 x64) or I need a goldcard (It is a non-branded phone).

any thoughts?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
CID error = you need a goldcard.
[Desire Android Development] multivore:
goldcard?

okay - any chance of doing this without enabling usb debugging? just hoping there is a set of instructions I missed

[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Myself and quite a few others with the Telus HTC Desire (HBOOT 0.83, SLCD) suffer from an issue:

50% of the time we enter recovery (via hboot, rom manager, etc.), the device freezes on the white HTC screen. Either a battery pull is required, or a reset via volup+power+oj.

Some documentation here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=750172&page=4

It occurs running both clockworkmod and AmonRA.

This is the most frustrating thing ever, and to date there is no solution. Is there any kind of fix to this problem? Does anybody have any potential solutions?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Are you running the latest version of clockworkmod? (2.5.0.0.7 I think) That version fixed the problem for me.

Hi i unbranded my o2 htc desire which was hboot 0.83 and with a ota update i am now on froyo, but wanted to rebrand to give it for a repair, with the o2 stock rom provided on the first page how would i reintall that back again, would i still need my gold card, also my phone has got a slcd screen, i would appreciate any advice..

P.S also the o2 rom provided on page 1 says 'RUU_Bravo_Froyo_O2_UK_.........' i thought froyo wasnt out on o2 yet??
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Yup, I tried that version of clockworkmod upgraded via Recovery Manager. Unfortunately, with it it crashed even more rebooting into recovery. Unrevoked back to the older 2.5.0.1 SLCD version, and it went back to ~50%.
