Thanks for this. I'm going to keep the update.zip safe just incase.

I've just imported an A3335 to use on the Telecom XT network here in NZ and I just flashed it with DK's rom (shame that I'm still stuck with the Telstra splash screen).

Although 850MHz is the primary band Telecom uses for their network they also have 2100MHz fallback in my location, so I'm not 100% sure what band the phone is running on.

Is there a service menu or an app on the marketplace I can use to check the band for peace of mind?

Thanks again.
[Wildfire General] Kwen:
It made no difference, couldn't tell if I lost the 900Mhz, couldn't get the 850Mhz for sure.

I tried playing in the Field test menu to switch between GSM Only to WCDMA Prefered/Only and the Band selection menu and completly lost access to GSM, it was stuck on WCDMA Only, had to do a nand restore (nothing to do with the radio version)

I'm not sure if the Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31 is exclusive to the A3335, most of the roms uses it:

Vodafone SPA

H3G ITA

HTC WWE

HTC Asia India

HTC Asia WWE

HTC Asia HK CHT (that's my phone and it'ss a A3333)

H3G UK

HTC Asia TW

HTC FRA Bouygues

HTC WWE Tesco

Vodafone DE

How did you find out which band your Wildfire was using? (or did you just not have any signal?)
[Wildfire General] inaxeon:
Pretty easy. My operator has no GSM (at all) or 2100MHz sites where this phone is most commonly used. When the alternate radio was flashed on, the phone flat out lost all connectivity to the network. It only returned when the phone was driven to a place known to have 2100MHz coverage. That was a pretty damning and poignant confirmation.

About the versions of the Radio, When I was first considering flashing the RUU I had already been concerned about the radio image and checked the version. I saw that it was used in other A3333 targetted images so assumed that the radio images were not phone specific. Turns out I was wrong.

What would be interesting is to checksum compare Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31 from Telstra vs. other images. If they are identical, then we know that this particular version supports both style of radios, in which case it is safe for both versions. The reason I've always been qualifying that version "Telstra" is in the fear that they are different despite the identical version number.

Short of actually being a hard core hacker or HTC engineer, It's a bit hard to tell really. All one can really do is share their experiences.
[Wildfire General] Kwen:
I can confirm thier identical checksum (I checked against another one - not all the versions lol)
[Wildfire General] juanchotolas:
another special version of the WF

Hey man, I have a wildfire which runs on these frequencies GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and HSPA/WCDMA 850/1900 MHz.

I was going to flash a stock RUU till I read your post, so I wanted to thank you for saving my precious 3g!
[Wildfire General] inaxeon:
What the heck model is that!

I understand HTC may have a provision for 850/1900 (Model A3334) But as far as I knew that never went into production due to lack of interest from operators. Or is this a fruity variant of one of the new Wildfire S models?

EDIT: As bought to my attention by juanchotolas - it appears that the 850/1900 A3334? (Awaiting confirmation of the exact model number) may exist after all. It leads a low key existance in Latin America sold under an obfuscated difficult-to-google-for name. It's called "Desire A" but it's really a Wildfire. Here's the little beasty: http://www.htc.com/la/product/htc-desire-a/overview.html
[Wildfire General] inaxeon:
I've spent many an hour searching for such an application and one does not seem to exist. Post one here if you find one.

The phone I've been working on was a present for my sister is also used on Telecom XT, I bought it due to the spectacularly average range of phones available at the time through Leading Edge, hence my burning desire to remove the Telstra branding.

You can imagine how incredibly silly I felt when it arrived, she powered it up and it couldn't connect to XT. The thing that's made it extra frustrating is that I live in the UK and was originally working on the phone from here. The UK only has 2100MHz UMTS so couldn't test properly before posting. I've had to do all of this reflashing over the phone and with remote access from the other side of the planet!

Anyway, If you flash the most recent 2.1 RUU (not 2.2) then reflash the radio I posted, you can achieve a fully unbranded A3335 on XT.

You're fortunate to have 850MHz UMTS over there, No one offers sub 1GHz 3G here and it stinks! I used XT for a few weeks while I was back for Xmas and it was an amazing service (If you can get over the cost). You can't have service like that on any network here. Green with envy.
[Wildfire General] fahrenheit451:
I was attracted to DK's rom because he made mention that the radio was left untouched (or optional to flash). So I'm fairly certain I'm running the original Telstra radio. I just can't be certain.

Would like to flash the 2.1 RUU and then back to DK again to get rid of the splash screen but for me, all that risk isn't worth the vanity. Like you, the phone isn't mine. It was bought for someone else but I'm responsible for its up-keep.
[Wildfire General] inaxeon:
I'm all about the vanity! I even replaced its plasticwork to remove the logos from the case and posted it in a London issue Wildfire box (had one spare). There is not a single Telstra logo anywhere on this puppy! I think I'd be pretty comfortable in assuming that it's the only fully software/physically unbranded unit in the country- pretty satisfied with that!

The ROM and the Radio are two different components. You should never overwrite a radio by flashing just a ROM.

There's only two (maybe 3) ways you'll ever end up overwriting the Radio on an HTC phone:

1) Flashing an HTC RUU

2) Explicitly flashing a radio update with Clockworkmod.

3) It is theoretically possible for ROMs to include Radio updates but I've never seen a third party ROM contain a radio image. With maybe a small number of exceptions, ROM developers generally aren't going to risk deploying radios with their releases.

Of course you can easily find out by examining the contents of the META-INF/com/google/android/update-script file in the ZIP archive. If there's any mention of "Radio" in there then avoid it on exotic models like A3335
[Wildfire General] Jack_R1:
-strike off. the radio build might be different - there might be radios with partial coverage-

[Wildfire General] inaxeon:
juanchotolas: What is the model number of the phone (probably printed under the battery, and also in the about phone menu) Might be something like A3334? If possible could you post some information on here about where to purchase this phone? From looking at that HTC page it almost looks like this model may be available unbranded? (Unlike the A3335). There may well be a number of people from the Canada/US who'd buy one of these for use on AT&T/Rogers/Telus etc, if only they knew how to! Currently the only useful Googe result for "Wildfire 850/1900" is this thread!
[Wildfire General] juanchotolas:
I bought my phone with "Iusacell" (a mexican carrier) it wasn't unbranded, the model under settings > about is displayed as "Desire A", Under the battery only the S/N, IMEI and P/N are printed,so no more info about this ,I'm gonna try to find where to buy it without a contract so keep checking this thread! Anyway, if I can do anything to help just ask me.
[Wildfire General] Fr3ddY303:
Desire A = Wildfire

Im in sydney at the moment but moving to nz in a few weeks. i've used a wwe rru on my telstra wildfire.

what was the final conclusion on the radio? is it the same as the wwe ones or not?
[Wildfire General] inaxeon:
Surely no marketing department in the world would be sillly enough to name a product which can't be found with a quick Google search. Surely...

That and, why isn't this for sale in the US/Canada, where they would be able to sell 5-10 times more of them? Seems a bit suspect to me.
[Wildfire General] inaxeon:
Nothing that couldn't be determined by reading this whole thread! If you've got a special model, leave the radio alone, which means no flashing RUU's.
[Wildfire General] C4NCER:
I did read the whole thread and still wasn't sure, which is why I asked.
[Wildfire General] inaxeon:
If anyone was feeling keen they could try flashing this unbranded RUU on an A3335:

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buz...45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_142189_signed.exe

While it's not the latest, It has the exact same radio version number as the Telstra RUU and according to Kwen, an identical checksum.

Could be the best possible to fully debrand an A3335? Would have been an interesting experiment if I had another fresh one to play with. If anyone tried it and it went wrong, you can always restore the original radio with the instructions I posted.
[Wildfire General] juanchotolas:
Desire A

Updates about the "Htc Mexican Wildfire... cough cough I mean erm... the Desire A... It is sold for about $495 usd so I think that it would be a stupid decision for anyone to try to buy one, the only carrier that sells it is Iusacell and the latin american htc website doesn't even display them as an authorized dealer.

I did the stupid mistake of flashing the SUnAaBh rom without deleting the radio but it still works.

Anyway, if anyone is interested to buy one, or more details about it I'd be happy to help you!

Hi guys. I know the Desire (UK, Orange) doesn't support permanent root with z4root as it is NAND locked, but some say it does support temporary root - when you reboot, you lose root. Does anyone have any info or experience on this?

I have locked out my HTC Desire phone and DO NOT want to perform a Factory Reset as I do not want to lose all the data/contacts that I have on my phone. Unfortunately I have not backed up for a few months. I have called the manufacturer to obtain assistance but they have only provided me with the advice that I need to do a factory reset. I can't access my Google account, despite entering the correct information, because apparently wifi apparently does not work when the phone is in this locked out mode.

Is there any way to overcome the lock without a factory reset?

I'm not too technically minded, so a step-by-step detailed instructions would assist.

Thank you for any assistance offered!

Finally FPSE psx emulator has been released and runs amazing on, at least, my Defy UK 2.2 overclocked to 1,2Ghz.

If you like psx forget psx4droid and try fpse. Almost perfect emulation :D
[Defy Themes and Apps] Foxhound.kl:
Vagrant Story doesn't work on fpse and does on psx4droid v.2. So not as compatible IMHO.
[Defy Themes and Apps] i900frenchaddict:
Sorry to tell you're wrong, one of the biggest point of Schtruck's emulators is compatibility.

For FpseCE (so on windows Mobile), we've tested about 350 compatible games (and full speed on an HD2) for only some 10 not working games.

Maybe porting to Android broke the compatibility for a very few games, but it's juste temporary.

have you tried to activate Synchspu for Vagrant Story?

EDIT: if you are curious, here is the compatibility list of Fpse on windows mobile, I'm pretty sure the same will be for Android very soon or already is. (note that if you can't see a game in the list, it's just that we did not get feedback for it, not that it's not working)

[Defy Themes and Apps] Foxhound.kl:
Well I can tell you it does load but freezes after new game start and gets stuck on now loading. I did try sync spu before but no luck. I'm going to try to patch the game disc to remove protection and see if that works. Even if it does, you can load the same disc on psx4droid no problem. But hey, this is early build, so I'll reserve any further judgement until it's fully established. Should have been Beta release if ask me though ;)
[Defy Themes and Apps] Foxhound.kl:
Well I patched vagrant story to remove copy protection, and is now loading. There's some sound issues, but it runs much better than psx4droid. Tried parappa the rappa, the cut scene videos freeze, but in game seems good. Looks like a winner. Needs auto copy protection by-pass and better sound emulation, but hopefully that will come.

0.10.14 which will include the colour fix.

Plus requested fixes people asked schtruck

To sort out.

The new colour fix will sort out the red,blue bug.

Schtruck tested the main games with the bug.

And final fantasy 7.

And the colour problem has been sorted out.

Any questions

You need answering

[Defy Themes and Apps] Foxhound.kl:
There's a sound issue on Vagrant Story I would love to see sorted. The sound you get with spu sync not selected is lacking in effects and clarity. However, when spy sync is selected, there's a glitch with the footstep sound effect where it makes a loud crack. Apart from this, the sound is fuller and echoes can be heard which is not in effect with spy off. If the footstep effects in spu sync mode is fixed, that would be mostly excellent!
