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...

    • So what is it, "Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users." or "Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it:" We keep hearing these are rolling out but they never seem to show up, we have force them on with ViVetool. Getting a bit tired of it.
    • Seems very lazy, so basically drain more battery power on laptops/tablets if this is turned on.
    • Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a very nice discount on Sony's high-resolution SS-CS5M2 speakers, which are currently on sale for just $178. It packs the rather rare super tweeter that offers an additional level of clarity and "airy"-ness which a tweeter cannot provide. It's a passive speaker though which means it will require external amplification, which will cost extra. Let's say though that you have a budget of under $150 but still want a decent-sounding speaker that's active. The Edifier 1280Ts can help in this regard, as the unit is currently at a decent price of $130 (purchase link under the specs table down below). While you will not get deep sub-bass from the 1280Ts, you should get clearer vocals and highs like cymbals than a cheaper satellite-based 2.1 system. Obviously the soundstage and imaging will also improve due to the better reproduction of highs. As mentioned above, the Edifier R1280Ts is active and so does not need a separate amplifier, as it's a powered system with its own amplification. A great thing about this model is that you can add a separate active subwoofer to it too using the "sub out" option, which essentially acts like an LFE. This way, you can add in the missing deep bass. The technical specifications of the Edifier R1280Ts are given in the table below: Specification Value Total Output Power 42W RMS (21W + 21W) Driver Units 4-inch mid-range/bass driver + 0.5-inch silk diaphragm treble driver Frequency Response 52Hz – 20kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) ≥85dBA Input Sensitivity Line In1: R/L: 500±50mV Line In2: R/L: 700±50mV Inputs Dual RCA inputs Outputs Sub Out port for external subwoofer Get it at the link below: Edifier R1280Ts Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Stereo Active Near Field Monitors with Subwoofer Line Out: $129.99 (Sold by Edifier Online Store, Shipped by Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Appreciate the focus on UI performance, but this is going the wrong way. Instead of optimizing performance, coding to lower latency, etc. this is just throwing horsepower. This is lazy.
