Guest Neilc28 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Posted July 4, 2010 Hey all, I've recently debranded my HTC Desire (Orange) with the generic HTC Rom, everything was working perfectly but then an OTA update arrived and was consequently installed, since then, the phone boots but says "Network Locked". From what I've read this is due to the 4.06 Radio update and the 2 solutions seem to be either downgrade the radio or request the unlock code. Phone has Goldcard and has been rooted. Radio Downgrade Well I attempted this by downloading the generic radio 4.05, copying to MicroSD and renaming to update.zip and selecting the "Apply sdcard:update.zip" option on boot. This was tried MANY times and always stated the following E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command --Install from sdcard... Finding update package... Opening update package... Verifying update package... E:signature verification failed Installation aborted. Reload Generic ROM Have tried this, but get a "Bootloader Version Error" when installation is in progress. BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON HBOOT-0.80.0000 MICROP-031d TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101 RADIO-4.06.00.02_2 I have requested an unlock code, but the 2 companies I have tried are having trouble getting a code based on my IMEI. I've verified the IMEI from the sticker under the battery as cannot get past the network locked message to enter *#06#. Any ideas? Desperately needing help here guys, need my expensive paperweight working as a phone again. Neil

In bootloader check to see if hboot is 0.80 and if so re-root with the 0.80 method instead, then flash radio

The OTA Radio update occured today. Device was previously just Gold-Card'd to debrand. It's a nightmare lol Thanks for your input so far :lol:
