Fixed my SLCD

Hey guys - I had bricked my desire by applying some rom that didnt support slcd. Anyway I was following instructions in this thread and downloaded some RUU's and I always had a 131 customer id error when running the RUU. Was advised to make a goldcard (which is kinda hard when your screen is black)

so anyway - I got the appropriate RUU for my phone (Asian unbranded) and it worked.

So if your having the same issue, make sure your using the appropriate RUU for your phone.
[Desire Android Development] lawboffin:
teppic 74,

I was hoping to seek your advice, I would like to debrand my deisre from orange and install android 2.2/froyo,

I have checked and i have hbot 0.83 and my software version is 1.22.61.1, after follwoing ur guide, i downloaded the update.zip, however when i go to download the ruu it says i need a username and password ?

Your advise would be greatly appreciate
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Enter shipped and shipped. Though you don't use an update.zip for an upgrade to froyo, just run the froyo RUU directly.

I've edited the first post to make this clearer.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Install the latest version of clockworkmod recovery using unrevoked3. It doesn't matter that your phone is already rooted. The newer version completely fixed the recovery booting problem for me.
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Hm. I guess I can try that again, as the last time I tried 2.5.0.7 was done through ROM Manager.

Does this file look correct?

http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.img

Edit:

Unrevoked it on, and in the ~7 times I've booted into the recovery, no freezes so far! This is looking good. If this actually cures the problem once and for all, many many thanks!

I've been frustrated by this issue for the longest time.
[Desire Android Development] rahadza:
When debranding, if you have an SLCD can you flash straight to the stock froyo rom or do you *have* to flash stock 1.21.405.2 first then upgarde to froyo via ota?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You can go straight to froyo.

If you want to root though you will currently have to downgrade again back to 1.21.405.2, which is why I give the option.
[Desire Android Development] lokkers:
I've just got my replacement Desire from Orange (with all the usual bundled crapware), so I need to set about installing a clean rom for starters.

I did this back in May for my original Desire, and it was a bit fiddly, but I guess the process has changed now? I can't tell if the phone has an SLCD screen (although I assume it has - can't actually tell the difference).

Ideally, I want to root, nandroid backup, and then go back to either LeeDroid or OpenDesire.

The crux of my problem is that I am running 1.22.61.1, not 1.21.405.2. So I'm not sure if I can just root using Unrevoked and then flash LD or OD, or whether I need to downgrade to debrand first?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
All 1.x HTC ROMs can be rooted directly with unrevoked 3.14.
[Desire Android Development] lokkers:
Jolly good - I presume I can therefore root/flash a recovery using unrevoked, and then just flash an updated radio then one of the custom ROMs as usual? No need to worry about whether it's an SLCD screen and suchlike?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Yes, all custom ROMs should support SLCD now.
[Desire Android Development] lawboffin:
thank you tepic, is there anything else i need to do then, do i neet to root etc, or do i simply run the ruu ? how do i do that ?, the download link for some reason is not working either. i believe the roms may have been removed possibly as other links on the web are down?

really appreciate your advice, pretty scared about wrecking my new pride and joy that is the htc but want froyo and no orange crap, thanks
[Desire Android Development] fazzx:
Hi wanted to root another desire i got which is 0.83 but the link on the first page says 'We're looking at some bugs that a very small number (two) EVO users have encountered and have taken the tool down for a short while until we're satisfied that they have been resolved.

In the meantime, you may use the older version here which has been stable in use for a while as part of a downgrade root for 2.2: unrevoked2.

– unrevoked team'

is there any other way of doing this?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Use the 'older version'. It works fine.
[Desire Android Development] fazzx:
Hi teppic just joined this forum and want to thank you for all this information, just last question,

ive got another htc desire on o2 0.83 and wanted to unbrand it, if i root it then install WWE rom then get the OTA update for froyo, would this unroot the phone again?

sorry if the question sound stupid just new to android..
[Desire Android Development] lawboffin:
Debrand Orange

Teppic, many thanks for your help

I have now created a gold card successfully on a spare micro sd (do i need this), i have downloaded the installer 1.21.405.2 as the link is now working (thanks for the password), i have also downloaded unrevoked 3.14 (though not sure if i need this)

Do i simply need to run this updater or is it more complicated than that ? (ie do i need to use unrevoked and the gold card)

as mentioned all i want to is debrand and run stock froyo and recieve updates promptly, not when orange preload it with crap, i have heard issues with wifi etc which concerns me and my phone is currently simlocked ? Also i am on windows 7

what are my next steps, really appreciate your help, will certainyl click buy u a few beers once this is sorted
[Desire Android Development] rahadza:
I've now debranded my phone and have installed 2.10.405.2 successfully. Obviously now I have bootloader version 0.93 with a SLCD. In the event that I needed to return to the branded rom how would I do this?
[Desire Android Development] koolhunter:
man you are a life saver!!!! thank you :D
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You need to run the froyo RUU (as shown in the first post). You don't need to install 1.21.405.2 first, that's only if you want to root. You don't need unrevoked3 but you do need the goldcard.

Simlock issues came with a specific radio in a 1.x release on Orange phones only - the one in Froyo should be safe, but since they have shown the problem before be prepared to get an unlock code after flashing just in case.
[Desire Android Development] lawboffin:
many thanks, the link appears to be down again for that ruu, nightmare!!!
[Desire Android Development] lawboffin:
Managed to get the ruu downloaded now(stock froyo one") do i simply follow the gold card instructions, then remove sim, and run the rom ?

then i will be debranded and on froyo ?, will i still get updates after this ? I have purchased a unlock code and waiting on it in case ? as per usual your advice is very much appreciated and a cold cyber beer is en route pending completion of this etc , cheers
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Yes, just run the RUU with your goldcard inserted. Your phone will then be the same as an unbranded phone as long as you keep the goldcard in. If you take it out, you must put it back before applying any OTA updates.
[Desire Android Development] lawboffin:
superb, all went to plan and worked out fine! phone is much quicker on the internet and no **** on it, has that also sim unlocked it, maybe i wasted a few quid buying the code ?

regards mate, beer on its way
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
There's not usually a sim problem with the froyo radios, but never mind. And thanks for the beer :)
[Desire Android Development] lawboffin:
yw, cheers for the help, so glad it didnt brick, running very smooth, so if i want to do any updates i use the goldcard, will i be notified ota ones etc?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You'll get OTA notifications with or without the goldcard, but if you try to install them without the goldcard inserted you'll mess it up and have to flash the RUU again.
[Desire Android Development] lawboffin:
does that apply to small updates, it just told me it had a 23 mb file update to keyboard and something else, i suppose not but as i installed it and its ok, i assume its only on a full update ?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
It applies to every update.
[Desire Android Development] lawboffin:
**** think it done my wireless when i updated it then, gues i reflash to stock, then update with goldcard ? all done and working again, going to be a seasoned pro at this rate lol
[Desire Android Development] alikasimoglu:
on my Desire, my screen doesn't work anymore :(

Hi all,

I have very very big problem :( After RUU (RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865) on my Desire, my screen doesn't work anymore. :(

I cant see anymore on my screen but i can listen sounds when i have open my desire.

Please help me, what i must do back open my screen for?

Thank you for your times.
[Desire Android Development] !PANDA:
can you please upload this..

Q. I applied an RUU/downgraded to HBOOT 0.80 and now my screen doesn't work.

A. You can recover by upgrading to stock froyo. Just insert your goldcard and run this generic RUU: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Brav...022_signed.exe

thanks!!
[Desire Android Development] thoros:
i got same error mentioned a few posts up, black screen, but i also get 1 and then 7 vibrates when i start the phone. Will it help with the goldcard for me too? Im not having great success connecting the phone to the computer with usb cable.... Im also not sure if I can boot into recovery, since i cannot see the screen.

I have now read an article about creating a gold card. Looks like i should have done this before my phone went black.

Am I totally screwed now or is there any chance that i can fix the phone?

After reflashing the phone again, the 7 vibrates are gone, and now it plays the htc sounds when it boots. But the screen is still black.

How can i get the screen to work again? Do I need a goldcard?
[Desire Android Development] nibblets:
Ok, I've now managed to root my SLCD desire, and I'm looking for a custom rom to install.

Is it true that all roms based on 2.2 will support SLCD's?

success upgrade and downgrade

hi all im new.

anyway, i been successful in up- and downgrading.

my desire (slcd) came from o2 on o2 rom (pre 2.1 update).

the below is a list of my "rom travels".

started on o2 pre 2.1 update (hboot 0.83),

...then stock wwe-2.1,

...then stock wwe-2.1update,

...then stock wwe-2.2, (2.09)

...then stock wwe-2.2update (2.10 - hboot 0.93)

....then stock wwe-2.2, (2.09),

....then stock wwe-2.1update

(slcd = RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe)

i find this more stable and "CoPilot 8.0.0.606.apk" runs only on 2.1

thanks everyone for sharing knowledge here.

** ps:

- yes, i did have the "black screen" for not flashing the right rom, but the above rom is the correct rom for slcd.

- all froyo works on slcd
[Desire Android Development] penguin-power:
try this...

- hold "down volume" button, then press and hold "power" button.

- run "unrevoked 3"

- plug phone in

- let "unrevoked 3" finish

- run " RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00. 32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe "
[Desire Android Development] geejayoh:
Thank you so much for this guide. I ended up with a non-working screen in a desperate attempt to downgrade from a bricked phone.

Made a gold-card and put the Froyo update on my desire and all is working beautifully. Go me!
[Desire Android Development] masterfly:
Hello!

Please, help me to sim unlock my HTC Desire(SLCD).

CID: H3G_001

SW:1.22.771.1

HBOOT: 0.83

If i'll do goldcard and flash RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed I unlock my device?:confused:
[Desire Android Development] AGPPC:
Hi,

Have you managed to fix it as i have exactly the same issue as yours.

When i connect phone via usb to computer and run unrevoked3 nothing happens.

My HBOOT version is still 0.93

Any suggestion will be helpfull...

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] epsylon5:
i made a downgrade of the Hboot from 0.93 to 0.82 i think and after that

the phone was bricked becouse i hade S-LCD version of bravo!!!

the phone goes to bootloader whith (volume down + back buton +power)

it wasen't rooted and it doesnt goes to recovery mode the unrevolked3 and RUU doesn't recognize the device so the only thing remains to flash hboot and the only version it get is 0.93 i download it and rename it

PB99IMG.zip

i pun the sd card off connect the sd to my pc transfer the PB99IMG.zip put the card back to the phone

(power+volume down+back button) open bootloader wait a little and it will ask you to flash (volume up) to agree...wait for the flash to compleet and you have a new device ;)

!!!!REMEMBER YOU HAVE TO GET A GOLDCARD FIRST!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!Now my phone is ok i thught that i brick!!!!

Sorry for my bad english
[Desire Android Development] ArchiGent:
Hi

Does anybody know if RUU_Bravo_Froyo_O2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe is OK for SLCD screen please?

I am wanting to re-brand to O2 as after 7 months my Desire has developed an 'overheat' problem when using satnav (heats to about 48-9 degrees and then reboots - very disconcerting when relying on it and you're only half way into your journey).

Some time ago I unlocked it (via O2) then created a goldcard and installed RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe

It then did an OTA Froyo 2.2 update. (It wont OTA upgrade to 2.29.405.5, but I gather that is normal)

My current details are:

HTC Desire A8181

Android version: 2.2

Baseband version 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Build number: 2.29.405.2 CL263770 release-keys

Software number 2.29.405.2

Browser version: Webkit 3.1

Bravo PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT 0.93.001

MICROP 051d

TOUCH PANEL - SYNT0101

I am presuming O2 will want it re-branded before fixing?

Also I'm not sure where my original goldcard is but I've just created a new one on an 8gb card which I'm going to keep in the phone - will that be OK for loading an O2 branded ROM?

Thanks for any help/advice you can give.
[Desire Android Development] rajverma3135:
Sorry to bother you mate

but I hope you are the one who can help me out

I just installed the RUU from one of your thread on my htc deisre .93 Hboot, clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.0 radio rom 32.44, and then i installed RUU for H3G UK and now my phone's display is gone as i can feel vibration, lights working but touch screen is not working

I am not sure if my touch screen is SLCD/AMOLED and there is not specified on RUU links if they are for SLCD/AMOLED.

Even I can not send it back to three.co.uk as I am not sure if on the phone three software is installed including recovery, radio etc or some custom rom.

I will be glad if you could reply to me and send me some link of both SLCD and AMOLED displays RUU.

Many Thanks

Raj
[Desire Android Development] ArchiGent:
Sorry teppic74,

Just seen in your first post that rebranding is possible with RUU_Bravo_Froyo_O2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32 U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe

For some reason the full RUU name is not visible in the post, only the link.

Many thanks
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
That RUU is for o2 UK customers to rebrand their device, no gold card needed as it's the original CID of the phone. If it doesn't work you'll first need to downgrade (using a gold card) and then flash the o2 RUU
[Desire Android Development] ArchiGent:
Hi EddyOS

Thanks for that info - just tried (with goldcard in anyway), all seemed to be going well but got a bootloader version error message! I'l have to do another trawl of the lists to try and find a remedy for this.

Cheers

EDIT: Downgraded using teppic74's utility found here: HTC DesireDesire>Android Development>[HOWTO] Downgrade Froyo (2.2) to Stock 2.1 (ANY HBOOT | WIN/LINUX/MAC | ROOT) - excellent and easy! Then installed latest O2 stock ROM as above - all good. Going on a long drive tomorrow so will check I still have satnav overheat problem and am now happy I can return the phone if need be. Thanks again to you clever people on xda dev - fantastic site!

UPDATE: Two journeys of over 3 hours yesterday and no overheating using SatNav and phone charger al the way! Would seem problem was not a hardware one (strongly suspect a recent googlemaps update, but uninstalling updates didn't rectify problem). I have read many posts about this overheat problem and numerous attempted repairs. For anyone out there having similar problems try re-loading ROM and not updating googlemaps.
[HD2 General] InZanity:
hello, new here.

got the fone when it first came out didnt think much of it.

after a few months now i find myself in love with this great piece of technology.

after slamming a 55lbs car hood on it :eek: afterwords revealing no damage what so ever, i realized this fone may be the perfect fone for.

now with all its fully customizations at hand i feel deeply satisfied.

anyways, kool fone just need to work on the huge monthly bill.

[HD2 General] mfrey0118:
I frankly am getting sick of all the HD2 bashing on the tech mag sites. Most of what they write seems to be laden down with hearsay and hyperbole. I find myself actually registering with certain sites simply to comment back about how the HD2 really is an amazing phone as long as one learns how to use Sense and WM 6.5.

But now T-Mobile has moved on to the Galaxy as their "flagship phone". Guess they were too nervous to put their chips in with a WinMo 6.5 phone...whateva!

[HD2 General] InZanity:
well you have to remember, the phone is kinda old in the rest of the world.

we got it here so late that many other newer and better phones have been designed for the market it seems.

but regardless i'd rather have this fone than the other new stuff out.

most of it just seems...idk, i guess faceless?

if that makes sense.

[Captivate General] qwerty3656:
I have had a rooted G1 forever and clearly see the benefits to rooting the G1. My brother just got the Captivate.

1) What are the arguments for rooting the Capitvate? When I think about what rooting the G1 got me, it was mostly the updated operating system which the Captivate already has. I've found that most of the good "non-market" apps eventually make their way to the market.

2) Is Captivate Rooting easily reversable and relatively idiot proof? My brother's phone is a company phone.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks
[Captivate General] Constarr:
You can actually download apps that you click a button to root or unroot it. I have not tried them but they are there. One is free too. They also have one click root and unroot programs for your computer. It's easy. Benefits. Root only apps. Custom tom if you want it
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
There really is no argument for or against.

You can sideload apps without rooting, so in the end does he have a reason to root? If this is no, then don't do it.

I don't think you should look for a reason to root, but use the captivate and then determine if it is missing something you need. if it is, will root solve your problem, if yes then root.
[Captivate General] focalguy:
I think that is the best answer. It's pretty easy to do but if you don't need it then there is really no point.
