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...

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
