Guest armagedoom Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hello: I recently rooted my HTC Desire, and although im generally happy with it, It has a bug I cant bear with (I describe the bug in the last part of the post). What I would like is to flash it with an original Android debranded firmware, I dont mind if I have to pay the 20$ to unlock it, could someone point me please to a good guide to do so? (Been searching for a while and cant find anything reliable....) Thanks a lot!! I will now try to describe the bug as best as I can, which I found the last 2 versions (at least) of modaco for desire have: I have an audiobook player which is the most used app for me, and I cant stand without it. It worked prefectly back with the last Android I had, but once I rooted it and installed Modaco SO, the timer stopped working right, and it will loose sinc with the actual min in which it should be playing,which is very anoying in big audio files, and I need that feature back. I also found (and I think it might be related) whenever I come back to home screen, the clock will show the last time I checked it, then it fast will switch to actual time, but I guess that lack of continuous sincronization could be the problem.

Guest EddyOS Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) The clock will always act like that, its been that way in all versions of Sense on the Desire As for a ROM to flash, what version are you running on at present? And what HBOOT are you on? Edited November 10, 2010 by EddyOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StuMcBill Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 What is the audiobook player, just to see if it is a known bug with the player? Have you recently updated it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest armagedoom Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) The player is called "Audio Book Player" The web page is this one: http://audiobookplayer.no-bull.se/ But it stopped working just after I rooted/installed modaco on my desire. I even donated 10 bucks to the autor coz I love this app, I contacted him for support, and he asked me about my android version then I told him I had it rooted and then he didnt answer me again :huh: The Ironic part is that I rooted to get Froyo, because orange wont put the upgrade here in Spain, and I only want to use the free app I donated, but i cant.... Thx for your time hehe :rolleyes: Edited November 11, 2010 by armagedoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest armagedoom Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I assume you have tried a full reset, re install of the app, run from Phone memory, run from SD card etc? Yes, and did that twice (one for each of the 2 latest versions of Modaco for Desire, and with several versions, the one with additions and the one without them). :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, was it branded when new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest armagedoom Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Yes sorry, I misunderstood that,thought u were talking between each other. I am currently using: Android version:2.2 Base brand version: 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 Kernel Version:2.6.32.15-gf9c0527 htc-kernel@and18-2 #1 SoftwarE: Modaco Custom Rom r9 for the HTC desire (without additions) And I truly dont know which version I had before, I know i didnt have Froyo and that it was branded (orange Spain) and not much more.... I didnt make any backup before rooting..... :rolleyes: Uh, and the HBOOT version is this one: 0.80.0000 Radio-5.10.05.23 As i told you, I dont mind to have an unrooted phone as long as it has froyo on it :huh: Thanks again!!

You might want to try the rom that Eddy has linked to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830139 !!HOWEVER!!! I am not 100% sure what this will install (HBOOT wise) so you would maybe be better waiting till someone with more knowledge of the subject comes along, or ask Eddy?

Guest EddyOS Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) It has HBOOT 0.93, which obviously can be rooted :rolleyes: Edited November 11, 2010 by EddyOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doh! :huh: But if he gets a goldcard he should be good to install that rom and get unbranded Froyo right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EddyOS Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) Would've helped to know the original software version on the phone (people should really learn to check this before rooting - should be on all rooting threds to check your existing ROM and see if there is an RUU...) but yeah just make a gold card in case and off you go - if you're unbranded it'll work regardless of GC but if not the GC will allow it to install Edited November 11, 2010 by EddyOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest armagedoom Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Perfect, then I install the ROM in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830139) and tell you about it. Thanks a lot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bpivk Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 (people should really learn to check this before rooting - should be on all rooting threds to check your existing ROM and see if there is an RUU...) Yea and people should write it down in a txt file (like I did). But they shouldn't delete that said file by mistake (like I did). :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest armagedoom Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hi again: I wold like to confirm with you guys the rom you are refering to is this one (the post you mentioned doesnt link directly to any rom), id like to be sure and not going to brick it... PB99IMG_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151 83_signed.zip Is that good?? Thx! (Got everything ready, just a click ahead of flashing it B)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EddyOS Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) If you're going to use that ROM then you need to rename it PB99IMG.zip, copy it to the sd card and turn the phone on whilst holding volume down to get to HBOOT. Then just follow the instructions Edited November 18, 2010 by EddyOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest armagedoom Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Ok, finally got the zip in the SD (after a hard problem with neither windows or the phone recognizing the SD, solved by formatting the sd from the phone). When I try to install, the installation fails because of "wrong CID". I have tried several ways, and i used this tutorial step by step several times: http://www.tuandroid.com/crear-goldcard-para-htc-desire/ And I allways get CID incorrect... Im stuck in that last step, that even happens after checking the IMG and saying its ok... This is being hard B) Edit: Can it be due to the space of the sd card?? (4gb) Edit2: Just bought a 2gb sd card, ill try with it and report back! Edited November 20, 2010 by armagedoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest armagedoom Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Ok, just did the process to get the goldcard with the new sd card, and got the same results: CID incorrect!! Here are the steps I follow, where is the error.... * I get the cid code from the SD via the command adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:*/cid * I reverse the CID via this web: http://hexrev.soaa.me/ * I get that code to generate an image in this web: http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard * I use Hex editor, and i follow the steps to save as goldcard (copy the img over the oppened SD) After i have my goldcard ready, I copy the image (which is correct, since the error i get is "wrong CID code" after it has checked the image. So where am I failing at the CID code getting?? Thx again for the help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest armagedoom Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) Finally got it!! I suspect the problem I was having is that the CID is case sensitive, I was using caps for every letter.... Btw I used this program (the atached one) to make things easier for me. And the ebook player still has the same bug, so I unrooted for nothing, and now i cant go back to my modaco rom, but Im happy anyway with android SO B) Thx for all the help! Edit: Ok, thought I couldnt haha... well I will leave the phone alone for a while, im ok by the moment, but once again, thx :)GoldCardTool.exe Edited November 23, 2010 by armagedoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
