gazebee_ Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Source: SpicyLogic.com Got it in 5 seconds from a Google search. Thanks, I have no data plan, and "Mobile network" is turned off. Does that need to be turned on? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/893008-htc-desire/page/29/#findComment-593073180 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheElite Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Can you make calls with it off? If so, leave it off. I'm not sure whether it will let you send MMS though.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted August 25, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted August 25, 2010 I think it's O2 branded, do I need to debrand it, and how? Thanks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/893008-htc-desire/page/29/#findComment-593074158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pajter Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 If you just want to root and install a custom ROM, then you don't need to debrand. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/893008-htc-desire/page/29/#findComment-593074244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh400 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I think it's O2 branded, do I need to debrand it, and how? Thanks Because you are rooting and flashing a custom ROM you don't need to debrand. Debrand is for people who do not want to root, but want to remove all network junk (like Orange crap) but want a clean official ROM flashed.

Phone runs 2.1 and says no update yet as O2 haven't released Froyo OTA.

Cool I might debrand then, but I think O2 leave the phone quite clean tbh. Is it easy to debrand?

Dead easy mate. 1) Create goldcard 2) Download 2.2 RUU 3) Flash it 4) Profit Although, it is important to note that once you flash to official 2.2, you can't root it yet. It adds new protection.

But if you are going to root it and flash a custom ROM anyway, there is no point in your debraning to 2.1. Complete waste of time. Just go straight to rooting it and flashing your chosen custom ROM.

Scirwode Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Hehe Scirwode, thought that was you on there ;) I seen you in the OpenDesire topic ;) I'm going with MoDaCo though to keep the Sense UI and I used the 'cooker' as the author calls it to customize my rom myself. Yup, that would be me, how many Scirwode's from Malaysia could there be anyway :p ? Anyway, it seems OpenDesire won't have the Launcher at all, it's all back to stock so I'm happy as a bunny :D !

I guess I got the "cheaper" desire? I'm also going to buy one of these screen protectors for it (Y) There is no real [noticeable] difference between SLCD & AMOLED. You only have a SLCD screen because HTC are struggling to manufacturer/source AMOLED screens.And yeah, I have a Martin Fields screen protector as well. Although, I would advise you to buy it directly from Martin Fields. They have a lot of fakes floating about. Edit* In case anyone is interested and they want to bake their own ROM - CookAndroid is back up! Happy baking!

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted August 26, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted August 26, 2010 After installing your custom rom how long should you have to wait before the phone boots up? I've been stuck on the O2 Welcome screen for a bit :/ When it first rebooted after installing there was a picture of what looked like a PC software box with a red arrow jumping out and a wee Android guy. Move on from that to the O2 Welcome screen after about a minute or two.

I've been stuck on the O2 Welcome screen for a bit Think my first boots used to take about 5 minutes, I remember getting impatient once and just pulling the battery. Didn't seem to damage it. Not that it's advised but the install of the ROM should be done, just the boot you having issue with.

Jeez talk about not having a smooth ride to kick off with this Desire Sounds like you have the common problem of it getting stuck. If it hasn't moved on after 15 mins. Do a battery pull, boot into recovery and clear all the caches (dalvik included).And you really shouldn't be seeing the O2 boot screen...
