Guest madleb Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) Hi Guys, I have been researching to finally get the guts to flash my phone to a standard rom. Its a Telstra rom and just want a standard desire rom on it. Here are my phone details HBOOT – 0.75.0000 RADIO – 4.05.00.11 FIRMWARE: 2.1-UPDATE1 BASEBAND: 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11 KERNEL: 2.6.29-3CB3DFBF BUILD: 1.16.841. CL171554 RELEASE KEYS I want to follow Paul's method and feel a little stuck He states the following method: - If you have a bootloader version 0.75.xxxx or below AND a current ROM of 1.15.xxx.x or below - DOWNLOAD - ONLY if the above download is not suitable - if you have a bootloader version 0.80.xxxx or below AND a current ROM of 1.21.xxx.x or below - DOWNLOAD I have bootloader 0.75 but my rom is 1.16.841, does that mean that the first one is not suitable and i download the 0.80 as i have a rom under 1.21?? Now i have created a gold card and feel comfortable going through the rooting process but for now i dont want to put a full custom rom just a standard wwe release rom. I downloaded a wwe release but its an EXE file, should i just archive it into a ZIP file and put it on the SD card? Also in the instruction it states we need to flash with update.zip or rootupdate.zip where do i find this? Thanks everyone for your help Paul Edited June 10, 2010 by madleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KHShapiro Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 i did my telstra last week , followed the r5 version then installed the rooted 1.21 and everything works great and no telstra crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Muskie Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Root using this guide: http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desi...o-1-21-support/ Then Load This ROM: http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desi...od-v3-released/ Sorted. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gabriel Tavares Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Muskie, I have the exact same situation as the creator of the topic. I thank you for your help but the solution you gave us is to root the device and install a custom ROM. Isn't there any way to install only the 1.21 generic ROM for A8183 without all the Telstra stuff and without rooting the phone? Thank you very much in advance.

Guest madleb Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Root using this guide: http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desi...o-1-21-support/ Then Load This ROM: http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desi...od-v3-released/ Sorted. :) Hey Muskie, where would i find update.zip its not listed anywhere? Now that rom you have listed still has some telstra items on there, any chance we can find just a plain wwe release that would work on our device as a .zip format not exe Cheers for your help mate Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KHShapiro Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 root it with the r5 method at the top of the forum , its a sticky and very easy. then apply this http://rapidshare.com/files/395319842/root...-2.1-signed.zip this is also from a thread located here http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desi...ion-1-21-405-2/ reading does wonders or just create a gold card and flash it and let the system reboot as a stock desire with a bootloader of .80 and 1.21 but rooting it is easy and well worth it ... not to mention you can also unroot the device if you want..

Guest Muskie Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 (edited) You can not install an RUU update for the Desire 8183 other than the Telstra ones, due to the fact that the devices are diffrerrent. You cqan do so, but it will screw up your RADIO ROM, and mess with your ablity to make calls and recieve/send data, as Telstra use the 900mhz spectrum. The only option for Telstra desire users that I know of is rooting using Paul's MCR, or installing an RUU while using a GoldCard. There are no Drawbacks to using a rooted ROM. (and you'll have to if you want Froyo before telstra take their damned time making one which may be up to 6 months after HTC release!)

Guest MarcioRS Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I received my Desire of Australia - by Telstra, with rom 1.16.841.1 and that there was no menu in PTB. Morelocade2 tried, but only 20% changed, not happy I read this msg: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? T = 684 259. (I downloaded the file RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.ex) Started the installation and after booting my machine aparcar with the white screen from HTC (formerly Blue telstra) and appeared on the menu option PTB. Today everything is working properly. Recebi o meu Desire da Austrália - by Telstra, com a rom 1.16.841.1 e nessa não havia menu em PTB. Tentei o morelocade2, mas somente 20% alterou, não satisfeito li essa msg : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684259. ( baixei o arquivo RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.ex ) Iniciei a instalação e após o boot meu aparelho aparceu com a tela branca da HTC ( antes era azul da telstra) e apareceu a opção de menu em PTB. Hoje está tudo funcionando corretamente. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest qubit76 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) Just to be double sure, I have exactly the same specs as the OP - a phone bought from Telstra that I'm running on the 3 network with boot-laoder 0.75.xx.. and build 1.16.xx....Do I use the "0.80.xx and below" method in r5 because my rom is > 1.15.xx ?

Guest Dolphin Trainer Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Once you're rooted, you can load any ROM you like. I also have a Telstra A8183 (which I use on both the 3 Aus network and Telstra Next G network) and have not had any issues running generic ROMs from Europe (or elsewhere). Worst case scenario is you might need to type in some APN details. Hardware differences (850/2100 v 900/2100 seem to be just that, hardware differences. I can use NextG fine at HSDPA speeds with a Euro ROM originally from an A8181 device. I prefer generic ROM's with my own modifications over releases like MCR etc. What I did was root my phone using the r6 method. Then I downloaded some generic (unrooted) RUU exe's that I wanted to play with. I then rooted those ROM's using dsixda's HTC Android Kitchen and loaded them onto my phone. Currently using a custom ROM based on RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_sign d.exe with radio ROM 32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2. My phone originally had the same version numbers as the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
