Got it in 5 seconds from a Google search.

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.

If you just want to root and install a custom ROM, then you don't need to debrand. :)

Even if 2.2 isn't available on O2 yet? Phone runs 2.1 and says no update yet as O2 haven't released Froyo OTA. Thanks

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.

Can I not flash to 2.1? I still want to root it, just remove O2 stuff.

Yeah you can flash to 2.1 as well. 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.

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 !

My phone is apprently now rooted but Titanium Backup can't get root access :/

BusyBox says it's unrooted but may be nand locked whatever that means?

edit: Got Titanium Backup to work by clicking the problems button and updating :)

Okay on the bootmenu whenever I choose Recovery to create a nandroid backup/flash the custom rom the phone powers off and I can't turn it back on unless I remove the battery :/

Can you run us through exactly what you did?

Also, what version is your HBOOT and is you Desire's screen SLCD or AMOLED?

Got it working, thanks for the help if you hadn't mentioned the hboot and SLCD I wouldn't of been able to search anyway :p

In related news what's the difference between SLCD and AMOLED? I guess I got the "cheaper" desire? laugh.gif

I'm also going to buy one of these screen protectors for it (Y)

AMOLED screens are in shortage so they switched to the SLCD not too sure of the differences as I've not seen an SLCD running.

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!

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.

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.

Edit for your edit, thats pretty normal, wouldn't worry just yet ;)

It's been about 10-15 minutes now :p

I went from 2.1 to 2.2 MoDaCo.

I have to go to the Dentist, I'll leave it on the welcome screen and see if it's changed for me coming back.

Jeez talk about not having a smooth ride to kick off with this Desire laugh.gif

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...

    • yeah it seems to be Edge only. The dialog buttons work as expected in Chrome and Firefox. The phone is using Android 16 (OneUI 8.5) and Edge version  149.0.4022.53
    • I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.
    • I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
