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...

    • Seriously 1.8gig....so what. Any computer, if you are going to do serious work on, in 2026 should have a mimimum of 16gig and I would say 32-64gig is the way to go.
    • So again, you'd consider "I'm happy with my LG TV" to be a valid response to an article about PlayStation? I get the "I don't like any of their products" but how does that in any way invoke Linux? It just feels very random.
    • State of Decay 2, Blasphemous 2, and more join Xbox Free Play Days by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The latest Free Play Days offer has just kicked off, giving Xbox players the chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. The offerings this time aren't as massive as last weekend, but there are still major releases for Xbox players to jump into. This includes Undead Labs' post-apocalyptic title State of Decay 2, as well as two Team17-published titles. Two of the games being offered this time are available to all Xbox players without needing any kind of Game Pass subscription. In the fully free-to-play section, you can jump into State of Decay 2. The title is both an action survival title and a community builder, letting players choose a map, set up their base, and try to keep the growing zombie threat at bay. Cooperative play is available too. Don't forget that the studio is preparing a third entry for 2027. Next, Blasphemous 2 drops in for Metroidvania and Soulslike fans, where The Penitent One returns for another adventure. The title has tough combat with multiple weapon options, deadly traps to avoid, and platforming sequences requiring a lot of patience and timing. Keep in mind though that the offer does have a 5-hour time limit attached to it. Lastly, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the WWII-set first-person shooter Hell Let Loose. The multiplayer game offers 50 vs 50 combat in massive maps, with infantry, tank, and artillery options available for players. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: Hell Let Loose (Xbox Series X|S, PC) State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition (Xbox Series X|S, PC) Blasphemous 2 (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. The Free Play Days collection will show up in this area. This week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 11, at 11:59 pm PT.
