At least you're on a stock ROM so you'll be OK. I take it you didn't need a gold card to run that RUU?

Google Nexus 4 (LG-E960)
ROM: CyanogenMod 10.1 (JDQ39E)
Bootloader: MAKOZ10o
Recovery: ClockworkMod Touch 6.0.3.1
Radio: 2.0.1700.48
Kernel: Franco Kernel r134

Nope. No goldcard, the phone was unbranded.

I'm a total newbie to Android, and have recently got my hands on a HTC desire, and am blown away by it.

However, the firmware is 2.1 and as a result the device (unfortunatly) is suffering from the 'overheating' issue, and seems to get stuck in a boot cycle when it gets warm (putting it in the fridge does help !! ) . I've been trawling through various forums and found that I need to upgrade to 2.2 in order for this to be resolved.

The problem I have is as follows.

- When I look for updates using FOTA i'm informed there are no updates for the phone
- Looked to root the device in order to upgrade a custom rom, but HBOOT version is 0.75

All guides I find for this process are for version 0.8 or newer..........

Any help you guys can provide would be awesome !!

That's a known hardware failure. Don't root it and get it to a service center.

Thanks Paul!  :P

Dear,

I was using a tutorial to flash a HTC Desire and I stacked on
" Navigate to the BOOTLOADER and then the RECOVERY option on the menu, using the volume buttons to move and the power button to select"
The black screen with a red triangle doesn't appears.
It appears black screen with htc sine in a middle of screen and 4 triangles in the 4 corners.
any suggestion for the mentioned problem?

Maybe been mentioned else where but 128 pages? I'm not checking- sorry. I rooted my desire using unrevoked. Very easy indeed. Worth a look if you want some tasty Gingerbread.
