Poeple need to understand the difference between UNBRANDED and DEBRANDED,

Clearly debranding a Vodafone handset does not make it truely unbranded, it just removes the branding.

HTC haven't messed anything up, the only people that made mistakes here, as those that assumed because they installed some random ROM from the internet that claimed to remove branding, that it made the phone identical to a factory HTC phone.
[Legend General] kleutscher:
thanks greedybro for the ruu froyo legend going to try it
[Legend General] Greedybro:
Want to try it too, but I don't understand how to install drivers for the Bootloader for windows 7 !! can anyone help me on this please ??
[Legend General] iodine:
It could be that HTC messed up the upgrade paths as there were two versions of 2.05 yesterday. I'm gonna try to install 1.31 again then I will get 1 of 2 updates from yesterday. I had 2.05 with the SMS bug since summer.

[Legend General] kleutscher:
urgh and again with ruu froyo Fr error 140 wrong bootloader version

i need the unbranded RUU froyo legend. but that one isnt avaible?
[Legend General] i4o:
I have an idea - maybe some volunteer with bricked Legend can try it.(may be strange but try)

From OTA_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3-2.05.405.2_release_160.zip extract only folder:

META-INF

notifyapp

patch

system

And then all this folder should be added to archive called update.zip and put them on SD and try to apply with the blue recovery menu.
[Legend General] Greedybro:
Not yet I guess, maybe in few days...

Nobody can help me with this drivers stuff ? cause my computer won't see that my legend is connected !
[Legend General] BiTXBoi:
Vodafone branded one: http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...6.35.04_7.05.35.26L_release_126590_signed.exe

EDIT: Eclair, which is the one I think people who debranded theirs will need
[Legend General] Greedybro:
Otherwise, I got an error of signature verification when I try to update from froyo vodafone... Can anyone know how to sign it, it seems complicated, I don't get it.
[Legend General] Guybrush02:
Yes : my Legend was never rooted nor debranded. It's a perflectly clean one I bougth two weeks ago!

This is why it's wierd :(
[Legend General] dr00g:
alright, worst case scenario - it is possible to rebrand the device back to way things worked? Will flashing vodafone rom bring things back to the begining? Put it simply, is the debranding reversible to the original state when the phone first functioned?
[Legend General] sjaak1234:
I can just download and install that without doing anything to my phone? I assume the same image also includes dutch language?

I'm still wondering what to do. The original branding I had was nothing more than 2 apps and a scene for the phone but since than I've also seen legends with the vodafone colors. If I install this one and do the 2.2 update, I won't get that? Just normal froyo but with some vodafone apps?

I rather not root my phone.
[Legend General] IceFreak2000:
Yes you can re-brand your phone - I've just done it to go back to the Vodafone UK Froyo version, until such time as some genius can work out how to get the unbranded OTA to work or an RUU is released.
[Legend General] i4o:
In OTA_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3-2.05.405.2_release_160.zip HBOOT version is 1.01, but on the one which u are trying is 1.00

The solution will be downgrade of HBOOT from 1.01 to 1.00 or 0.43.

But how ?!?
[Legend General] dr00g:
mind sharing with me the process?:) Is it the same process for debranding but with the Vodafone rom instead? if yes, is this the rom you used http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...6.35.04_7.05.35.26L_release_126590_signed.exe
[Legend General] kleutscher:
IO4 do you know a way so i can downgrade my phone only from within the bootloader/fastboot/recovery menu.

so atleast i dont have the bootloop problem and i can use my phone again.

im almost at a point to throw the phone in the toilet . jump on it and calling my insurance company:P
[Legend General] Guybrush02:
I see a lot of things about goldcards on google. I never used the SD card that was packaged with my Legend. Instead, I use a 8 gb SD card. Is this possible that Froyo update is only allowed with the official and unformatted packaged SD card ?
[Legend General] Greedybro:
Yeah I guess I should declare it stolen...
[Legend General] IceFreak2000:
@dr00g: That's precisely the way; I simply re-ran the crackin script from 'hack4legend-v5' and executed the RUU - an hour later and a couple of OTA updates applied I'm back to Vodafone Froyo
[Legend General] shark812:
i'm stuck with hboot 1.0 and noone rom on my phone... what can i do? there is a LEGEIMG.zip with hboot 1.0 that i can install? Please help me
[Legend General] dr00g:
cheers IceFreak ;)
[Legend General] GTMike87:
i'm trying to install 1.32 RUU and when installing: error[140] bootloader version
[Legend General] sjaak1234:
But that hack means rooting your phone right? Than why not just flash the debranded 2.2vodafone rom while your at it?
[Legend General] iodine:
I fall into group 2:

I'm downgrading to 1.31 now and re-attempting the OTA upgrades from HTC.

I think that 2.1-update 1 from over the summer (the one that introduced the SMS bug) doesn't have a correct path to FROYO .. Testing this now.

-- i0
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
i can make a downgrade with this one: LEGEIMG_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.5_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L_release_126592_signed.zip

After this go to 2.2 ?
[Legend General] GTMike87:
I think the only way is to go back to vodafone ROM or keep with eclair

HTC wont give support to debranded ones
[Legend General] ryaneu:
I flashed to RUU 1.31.405.5

OTA update to 2.05.405.2

OTA update to 3.15.405.3 failed.
[Legend General] kleutscher:
anyone knows a way how to fix the bootloopers group?

things i tried:

fastboot + ruu several versions all with error[140] wrong bootloader version.

tried some update.zips in recovery mode.

tried some legeimg.zips.

nothing worked.

it isnt totally bricked becouse i still can acces the bootloader/fastboot/recovery mode.

im out of options.

i dont even want 2.2 i only want a phone that is working:):mad:

my phone is a debranded one original it was a vodafone branded one.
[Legend General] iodine:
You won't go directly to 2.2, use the OTA and it will download a bunch of updates.

My OTA updates are still running .. so far so good .. I'll post my test results as I progress.
[Legend General] kleutscher:
ill give this one a try
[Legend General] iodine:
I was just prompted for 2.05.405.2 .. downloading now.. (This update was released yesterday)

-- i0
[Legend General] Guybrush02:
The exact error I had when I try updating in recovery mode (hey, I'm a noob about Android, I've just discovered this :D) is about :

assert(apply_patch_check ....... /system/app/Calendar.odex .....

This is displayed just before "Error 7 in update.zip"...

Note that I've a lot of difficulties to download a "correct" update (file corrupted, etc.).

(Edited: Another try with the same zip file, now it's an assert failed at /system/app/SetupWizard.apk.

I will try with the official SD card this evening as Android seems to have difficulties to mount mmc..something (I guess it's SD related) (3 retries). I'll post results here.)
[Legend General] dr00g:
In reflecting back on the whole thing, it is quite hilarious how everything went so bad for a bloody update... about a month or so ago, I read the post from HTC on facebook saying to the world froyo is coming soon - first to the unbranded and bit later to the operator based ones. That was the moment I thought "f#ck it, I'm going brand-free" - only because of the logo and few useless apps. So, partly of the HTC's post, partly because I felt 'openess is cool and the freedom it entails is worth justifying the risk and time', I went and debranded the phone. A week or two later Vodafone released the Froyo update first...I felt ridiculously annoyed but then thought 'oh well, there must be a reasonable explanation, I should be getting a far more superior update in the end so stop moaning about it'. And that day arrived...woke up in the morniing, made a coffee, rolled a cigarrete and started updating my beloved Legend untill it betrayed me...what an irony...but that's life - and that's precisely only a bloody phone :rolleyes:
[Legend General] FridgeRaider88:
Just to confirm I was also experiencing this problem on my de-branded Vodafone Legend.

I downloaded the Vodafone UK RUU from Shipped ROMs, and installed it (essentially re-branding the device). Just downloaded and installed the Vodafone froyo update successfully.
[Legend General] iodine:
2.05.405.2 was successfully applied, I am now downloading (via OTA) Froyo ROM.

-- i0
[Legend General] spyfox1024:
I saw that in the vodafone FR update there was no CID test so I try to make my own update.zip (deleting the cid test of HTC version) and signed it...

But the signature is bad... I don't understand. I follow a tutorial of XDA to signe a zip file.

My phone is a SFR (vodafone FR) legend debranded.

Someone can test this solution (make an good signed update.zip) because i think this could work
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
ok man! good luck to you.. i'm waiting your results.... and downloading 1.23.xxx zip
[Legend General] kleutscher:
if someone could make a update.zip that works then the bootloopers also can use the update.zip to install froyo to get out off the bootloop.

the bootloopers still can use recovery mode only need a working 3.15 update.zip.
[Legend General] shark812:
anyone know how to downgrade from hboot 1.0 ?! i want to install any enclair rom... i'm stucked now at all
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
i think that only use original zip signed by HTC.

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Legend
[Legend General] Greedybro:
I try to sign updates with some pre compiled tools I found on the web, but no results !

I guess we gonna need some serious help from talented guys !
[Legend General] iodine:
Crash and burn .. update failed :(
[Legend General] sjaak1234:
So rebranding fails too? Man, this ****ing sucks. So rooting is the only thing left to do it seems.
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
****... i don't know. so it turns out that we do not have a chance to install 2.2?
[Legend General] iodine:
Only thing I can think of is modifying the CID somehow, or using a repackaged ROM without the CID check.

It appears that debranding the phone and then using a WWE unbranded version doesn't change the CID. So the phone is still locked to your carrier.

HTC got smart this time and decided to pull the plug on the community (maybe that's why they took a few extra months).
[Legend General] sjaak1234:
But there is still the option of rooting right? That shouldn't give any problems? I would like to try that as there seems to be no other way but I don't want to risk bricking my phone.
[Legend General] spyfox1024:
Does anyone know this :

www[dot]jtagbox[dot]com

Apparently we could change the CID of the legend...

[Edit] it's hardware and it's expensive :(
[Legend General] iodine:
The issue here is that the froyo update zip file is signed which makes it difficult to alter the check. getprop ro.cid check.

will have to:

1. root phone

2. unpack froyo update

3. remove check ro.cid check

4. pack fixed froyo update

5. install with rom manager (as it's now unsigned). or sign the zip?

I'm not too familiar with step 2-5 =)

-- i0
[Legend General] iodine:
this looks promising ..
[Legend General] legend-ris:
I have same problem ..probably because I have rooted legend

What I do:

1. folow this here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822726

2. after reboot go stright to menu>settings>about phone>System software updates>check now

3. it update to 1.31.406.5

4. after update/reboot do same thing again .... menu>settings>about phone>System software updates>check now

5. it find froyo and upgate it

now..I am on froyo 3.15.405.3

finally
[Legend General] sjaak1234:
But if you root and install the modaco vodafone froyo would there still be the need to alter the CID check? As that is a vodafone rom so I assume that will see the unalterd part of our legends and accept it? Or maybe it just doesn't have the check at all as others use it as their rooted 2.2 rom in which case it would also work for us.

Or am I totally wrong?
[Legend General] sjaak1234:

That would only work for rooted users with a unbranded legend as debranded users would still have the vodafone CID?
[Legend General] Greedybro:
I still don't understand why the LEGEIMG won't work. My phone says checking [LEGEIMG.zip] but go back to hboot menu... and when I try with a 2.05 rom, it says that it can't apply cause it's an older version !
[Legend General] kleutscher:
thing i find strange is:

that im stuck at 3.15.405.3 bootloop;)

ad if i try the RUU from vodafone froyo i tells me error140 wrong bootloader version.

so the vodafone 3.14 has a different bootloader then 3.15 unbranded?
[Legend General] kleutscher:
how large is your legeimg.zip? the thing if find strange is that the legeimg.zip i(we made from renaming firmware.zip is only like 15 mb big.

al the others i can find on the web are around or more then 100mb.

are we doing it wrong with making a legeimg.zip?

becouse we atleats miss like 85 mb of data with the other versions.

we bricked/bootlooped our phone after renaming the firmware.zip to legeimg.zip
[Legend General] i4o:
Yes, on vodafone 3.14 HBOOT is 1.00, on 3.15 is 1.01.
[Legend General] shark812:
i'm stuck with 1.0 hboot so there's any legeimg.zip that works with my hboot?
[Legend General] nolook:
hmm well good thing i slept in i guess...was going to debrand and try to do the above but looks like it wont work cause i have a virgin canada legend and debranding wont debrand the cid?
[Legend General] kleutscher:
@ greedybro youre french

http://www.htc-legend.fr/actualite/froyo-dispo-pour-legend-nu#more-571

i used google translate.

"Certains rencontrent un problème lors de l’installation (affichage d’un triangle rouge) ou ne peuvent pas télécharger la mise à jour en 3G (limitation stupide de bouygues à 10Mo).

Pour résoudre ce problème, procédez comme suit :

Téléchargez la mise à jour

Extraire firmware.zip

Renommez le fichier en LEGEIMG.zip OU si ça ne fonctionne pas en update.zip

Copiez le à la racine de votre carte SD

Vérifiez que vous avez suffisamment de batterie ou mettez votre téléphone en charge

Allumez ensuite votre téléphone en appuyant simultanément sur le bouton Volume Bas et le bouton ON

Sélectionnez Recovery Mode avec le bouton Volume bas et validez avec le bouton ON

Sélectionnez Flash zip from sd card

Sélectionnez le fichier LEGEIMG.zip ou update.zip et lancez la mise à jour

Si ça ne fonctionne pas avec la manière décrite-dessus, essayez sans extraire le fichier firmware, juste en renommant le fichier téléchargé en « update.zip ». Je ne peut pas faire le test, si quelqu’un ayant un Legend nu peut me confirmer que la manip’ marche…

Visiblement ça ne marche pas sur les Legend débrandés… Lors de l’installation le téléphone vérifie le ro.cid, qui est l’identifiant qui lui permet de détecter si il s’agit d’un Legend nu ou avec marquage opérateur. Le Legend SFR doit avoir un ro.cid du genre VODAP304.

A noter que la ROM de cette version est la 3.15, alors que la version SFR était la 3.14. Pas d’infos sur les modifications apportées par cette nouvelle version."

so he also tried the way how we bricked/bootlooped our phone so he also must have bricked his phone.

maybe he found a fix.

hmmmm sucks IO4 why hboot 1.01 and not 1.00:p

we really need the cid check deleted:P

im really out of options for my bricked/bootlooped legend but ill keep on searching allready spent to much time in it:p

putting a pizza in the oven:)
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
i understand steps with unrooting and than updating up to 2.2 BUT

when my phone was never rooted and i bought it few days ago ? :-D

And i have the same trouble. Now i'm on my original 2.1 updated yesterday to 2.05.405.2
[Legend General] kleutscher:
Antihazard you bought it brand new or 2nd hands.

if bought new go back to the store and ask a new one.

dont go trying like i/we did and totally **** up your legend;):p
[Legend General] shark812:
totally agree
[Legend General] PandaVoyageur:
Screw HTC I'm rooting my legend tonight and go for modaco rom... I had the files ready on my PC for some time, but I waited to see how the official update would look like (now I know)
[Legend General] redarmyrider:
yup good thing, I also have the virgin mobile legend

I debranded it last night, got the first update, but the froyo update failed

Will probably root and install cyanogenmod 6.1, as I was deciding between that and the official rom anyways. Thanks HTC for making up my mind :rolleyes:
[Legend General] kleutscher:
is it possible to downgrade the hboot1.01 to 1.00?

am i right if it is possible that with a hboot 1.00 i wont get a error[140] wrong bootloader version when using fastboot + RUU
[Legend General] sjaak1234:
On debranded? Let me know if it worked.

Btw, would Vodafone have the ability to force/''repair'' debranded legend at the store? Because I got a vodafone store close to Uni so in that case I might jump in there and have them update it.
[Legend General] Greedybro:
Yeah I saw it. But nothing helpful !

Because finding a way to modify the update and install it on unbranded Legend could surely be done, but find a way to repair the bootlooped legend is another thing I guess.

Hope someone will help us !
[Legend General] kleutscher:
do you have msn? maybe we can find a way. PM me.

but if someone could make a update.zip or legeimg.zip without the cid check we still can update that with our bootlooped legend becouse the bootloader/fastboot/recovery mode still works at our phones.

the problem that our legend wont install the legeimg.zip and update.zip without an error is becouse of the cid check
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
sht...i bought my legend via internet-shop... all documents, all accessories, box, phone is new... aggrrrr i don't want to give it back :-)

So..i think we will try to find the way to solve it. Coz i'm not alone in this problem
[Legend General] kleutscher:
nah there are many like us:P that is a big advantage:)

only would be cool if there where some pro developers among us:p
[Legend General] iodine:
I removed the CID check and signed the zip but getting Signatire verification failed installation aborted error.

Looks like it's not just checking for "any signed" update.zip but one signed with HTC's.

If I can't get a copy of HTC's cert, Clockworkmod might come in handy here ..
[Legend General] Guybrush02:
Nothing new : with the official packaged SDcard, same error about SetupWizard.apk.
[Legend General] ANtiHazarD:
if i remember...ClockworkMod Recovery can flash .zip without any sign
[Legend General] iodine:
Looks like my gold card is no longer valid?
[Legend General] i4o:
I think it will work:

Dounload RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_Vodafone_FR_3.14.163.1_Radio_47.51.35.17_7.13.35.05_release_156976_signed.exe

When started and see gray screen(not close), go to C:\Documents and Settings\your user\Local Settings\Temp\ and look for something like {1FE37C3A-C938-4125-9299-61255A404479} see for rom.zip and rename to rom1.zip, copy firmware.zip from OTA_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3-2.05.405.2_release_160.zip and rename to rom.zip and then procede to instalation.

p.s.

[Legend General] flyingff82:
So just a question because i'm new to Android:

I had a VF branded legend and upgraded to VF Froyo via normal update.

Then I wanted to use custom rom and with several how-to's i rooted the phone, downgraded to 1.31 or so and finally flashed CM 6.1.

What i don't understand is if my phone is now still branded or not?

And what could be the way to install the official 2.2 without bricking...?

If i understood right, i could flash it directly as the phone is rooted, but where to get the rom?

ty
[Legend General] YoungPretender:
I've been following a couple of threads on here for the last few weeks (specifically the dreaded "FroYo out in a few days for unbranded handsets" one), and finally decided to join and post something. So hello peps! and thanks already for the info I've previously read.

I've a HTC Legend that I bought back in Sept. It's using the 2.1 ROM and I'm guessing it was rooted (Was in a Vodafone box but I bought it second hand already debranded).

I've tried this too. And agree that HTC signatures are the only ones allowed for booting.

Is there anyway to check the CID of the phone to see what mines actually is?

Cheers
[Legend General] iodine:
adb shell

then getprop -> look for ro_cid
[Legend General] kleutscher:
ill give it a try.
[Legend General] YoungPretender:
Thanks V much. Looks like it was a debranded vodafone :(.

[RO.CID]: [VODAP001]

I take it there is no known way to change this?
[Legend General] Siako:
Maybe we can flash a misc partition with a modified CID to pass the test ? (rooted users only, of course, or using the method to downgrade)

Hi

I have strange problem. I can't get angry birds to work on my wildfire - game starting and I can hear the sound, but there is only green or blue screen with part of background from the game on top of the screen and that's it... Before game was working fine, but slow (on wildpuzzle rom). Because I had too many problems with wildpuzzle I flashed cyanogen rom and from this moment my problems with angry birds started. Till this time I flashed three different roms and on every one is the same issue. Before every flash I did full wipe.

Do anybody else had similar problem? Why this is happening, is something wrong with the phone, as I know, this game should work on wildfire. Slow, but still...

How many times do i have to tell people lol, it's all over the wildfire forums. When you're in the game, lock and unlock the screen. then it should work and you should see the menu :).
