I am looking at buying a HTC Desire, but would like to try rooting it and loading custom firmware. I am sure I read somewhere that it is not possible to Root a phone that has already been updated with the standard 2.2 OTA update.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am going to be getting the desire the second Telus gets off their arse and puts the thing out and I really want to root it because of how much customization freedom it allows. The one thing I am worried about is warranty. If I root with Telus how would I go about UNROOTing and bringing the phone back to 100% stock in case something should go wrong?

View 5 Replies View RelatedThis is my 1st thread so i am very sorry if this is in the wrong place or i have done something wrong so just be gentle with me Well I live in the uk and I am going to get a htc desire on contract and i was wondering which networks you would recommend? In terms of 3g coverage but mainly 2g coverage (calls and texts) also is there a particular network that brands the desire the least and is quickest when releasing updates for it. (By the way i am a complete noob this will be my 1st android phone so please don't suggest debranding or rooting as i wont do as i would just break it)

1- I have Desire with Froyo. So, technically whenever I install an app, I should be given an option to install it on SD card. But so far, haven't seen it yet, consequently today I got a message that phone memory is running low. So, please help me out.
2- Secondly, last night due to some reason I opened navigation first time and there came two pop-ups asking me for some settings. I ticked them and then a satellite logo appeared on top bar. Does it consume a lot of battery?
3- So far I have set many applications on automatic updates but I have observed that I have to always update them manually. They don't get updated automatically.
Did the latest update and ever since I cannot log Into Facebook whilst connected to mobile data. IF I try via WiFi it works fine. Even if I use the browser instead of the app it reports that I'm trying to connect with an ip address that's associated with 'abuse'.

In my opinion it's better....but still not great
Hubby has a sim free Desire bought about 3 months ago from ebay.
I debranded my own desire with the goldcard method, and then using the unrevoked method i rooted my phone.
Hubby updated his Desire over the air to 2.2
Has an easy method to root this 2.2 update been created yet.
Didn't mind taking a chance with my phone, but not with someone elses!
Is i install an app or game from an apk. file via sd card, is ther anyway at all to update to the more recent version?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am toying with the idea of putting a Froyo Rom on my desire, but have several questions that aren't answered in other posts.
1. Will I need to unlock my phone before, during or after changing the Rom? I am not overly bothered by the orange stuff on my phone, but am worried about losing my WiFi connections!
2. Do I need a goldcard? Some instructions say yes, other no. None mention orange handsets specifically.
3. Which is the easiest & safest method to root my phone, if I want to put the Froyo Rom on it?
4. What if I want to change Roms - do I need to do the whole process again? I've seen something about a Rom manager, but where do you get it and how does it work?
5. Which Rom do I use? I've looked at some I'd the modacco forum ROMs, but most don't actually say what you do or don't get with them.
6. What's that difference between a2sd and a2sd+? Does it come as part of the ROM or so I news to get it separately?
The title says it all just updated to firmware 1.21.405.2 on o2 backed up my settings beforehand but the restore didn't work! How do I try it again please?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI updated my unbranded desire to FroYo, and now I really wish I hadn't. Anything that requires data not Working as previously. My email is no longer push - I have to go in and manually refresh - which takes at least 5 minutes, and in the case of my exchange email, usually results in a sync error. Twidroyd, Twitter, Peep, Facebook, all timeout whenever I want to refresh them; I may get one proper update a day, but the rest of the time, nada.
Internet is so slow now, I just give up half the time. WiFi flickers on and off, even though it's set to on all the time. Anyone got any ideas of stuff I can check, or whether I can un update - I love the aps2sd and stuff, but it's bricked the rest of my phone. It's getting to the point where I'm actually starting to dislike the phone because it just doesn't work.
Damn Motorola..

As per that article, there is an update for flash available in the market. However, flash is baked into the evo rom, and did not come from the market. How do we get the update? Download the update from the market and will it overwrite what we already have?
Just wondering how many times the HTC Magic will be able to be updated. I have read it should handle the 2.2 upgrade. But will it run smoothly? Surely there will be a limit. Perhaps not all the features in the 2.2 will run in a Magic.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI don't mean to sound thick, but I will anyway. What is rooting? I get that it gives you root acces to the phone. For things like memory management and saving apps to the flash drive. But, what does it entail? Is it replacing the software on the phone? Will I lose all my contacts and currently installed apps etc?
View 10 Replies View RelatedMy Incredible just got updated to the 2.1 update1 firmware. When the update was installed all of my pictures stored on the phone were deleted. Now when I take a picture, most of the time, the phone will just show the picture I took on the screen but not allow me to to do anything (take another picture, share, delete, etc.).
The only thing I can do to get the phone responsive again is to click the home screen button and then the click camera icon (repeatedly) until the camera is responsive again. I tried switching the phone to save to the Micro SD card instead of the Phone memory but am still having the same problems. I have also tried turning GEO-Tagging on and Off but that does not effect problem.
I updated to 2.1 yesterday (Official 2.1, recover 3.0.8., rootv7) and today it's shut off twice randomly. I have to pull the battery to get it to power back up.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI recently rooted my phone. I have not done any custome ROMs and only had it overclocked for a couple hours (it wasn't stable enough for me.) I've got a back up saved on my home computer. This morning I got notification of an OTA update from T-Mobile. I did the update and now the phone is stuck on the Samsung Vibrant screen. What do I do? Is this because I'm rooted or a problem with the update?

View 25 Replies View RelatedI recently switched to chomp from handcent because I like the way chomp looks better than handcent and they both have basically the same functionality.
Well chomp just had an update and it is now force closing everytime i turn my phone on and will not work at all.
I have not tried to uninstall and reinstall because I just got it customized perfectly and there is no guarantee that will work. I will do that if/when someone says it has worked foe them.
That said, has anyone had this problem happen to them after the new update?
My phone doesn't have a phone call log and contact app after updating 4.3.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI plan to root my Desire this weekend. From what I gather after that I can install 'ROM manager' and then run different ROMs from there.
Is this all correct so far? Have I missed anything?
Then...
Once I'm at this stage where do I get the ROMs from?
Is there a good resource somewhere detailing what ROMs have what and where to download them?
I want to go to vanilla FroYo, can anybody recommend a ROM?
I have just used the instructions on this forum to first root my phone, and then install New 2.2 on to my desire. What a improvement in performance and Shockwave flash works. But I can't install on to my SD Card at all. If I download a app from the market (or my pc) which is set to install on extrenal storage (SD Card), it downloads and the installation fails. I also can't use APP 2 SD as when I try and copy to memory it fails. so if I then unmount my SD Card, and install the same app, it installs and works fine. So do I need to do something to my SD Card?
