Please Help Wifi Not working after 1.21.405.2

Ok the other day i decided to get rid of the orange rom from my HTC Desire so i created a goldcard flashed the testruu.exe file then i rooted my phone. yesterday i decided to unroot it and reflash the htc generic rom. all was working perfect then today i checked for ota update. there was one ready to download so i got it installed and it was working fine. ive just got home from work now and my wifi says unable to start under settings. dont know how its happened
Any ideas how to fix this.
Thanks in advance.
p.s.
please dont tell me ive got to flash my phone again otherwise i will get all my friends iphones to rape the desire right up the usb slot

you could try doing a manual update using the RUU 1.21.405.2 in the dev forum. I used that and I have no wi-fi problems...
Funny, the other reports of broken wi-fi I've read seem to be from people who had previously rooted their phones too...

Is there no other way around this other than flashing the rom?

Doubt it, but it's pretty soon after the official roll-out. Give it time and somebody might figure something out.

Mine has never been rooted and I have the same wi-fi problem after the 1.21.405.2 update.

Not so funny then, I guess.
Try flashing with this:

It's the same update... but it works. At least, it worked on mine and many others. It will wipe everything so make sure to back up first.

Same here...Never rooted, but I did de-brand with a generic ROM using a GoldCard. Can't start Wi-Fi.
Does anyone know if T-Mobile customers with the stock T-Mobile ROM have received this update?

Hello. Exactly same problem for me: Orange France ROM flashed to official HTC, and after upgrade unrecognized wifi. It was never rooted.
How to be sure to have an official ROM ?
Thanks.

Ok, so it's not rooting, but we now have three people in this thread who have flashed to the generic rom and then updated, who now have broken wireless.
Teppic24 - how about you? Did you debrand your phone? Just curious. If that's the issue maybe we can warn people who have done the same...

Yes I did de-brand.

So basically, everybody in this thread who has wireless issues, de-branded their phone before applying the update?
There's a pattern here...

It's exactly the same for me. I debranded my French Orange HTC Desire with the official HTC Rom, and now no more Wifi
What's more, I have never rooted my Desire.

arrrrrrggggghhhh Help!
Just flashed it using the same 1.21.405.2 rom from the dev section and now its asking for sim network unlock pin
I put in my goldcard and booted to fastboot then with my phone connected to pc i ran the rom.exe and it installed booted up and now its asking for sim network unlock pin.
Any ideas plz
Thanks

Yeah, I don't know what exactly the issue is, but the debranding does seem to be the culprit (so far, anyway)
As mentioned previously, you can probably fix it by flashing your Desire with the rom linked in the first post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684259
It's an official release. It will wipe everything, so make sure to back up first.

I take it a Goldcard is still required to flash that, even for de-branded phones?

Yep...and now I feel like a **** for leaving it lying around my overly tidy girlfriend who doesn't take care of what she's throwing out when she's gone all Monica for the day.

Well, I just plugged my phone in and opened the RUU on my pc. But my desire is a stock, unaltered model.
I don't know if it will be the same for you guys.

With my unabeled wifi, rebranded HTC rom after Orange, my base band version is:
32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11
In hope it helps...

It seems that there is no trouble with this one : 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2.
If someone want to make a test ... and there an other one : 32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2

Silly question probably, but I don't care:
Is it possible to flash only the baseband ?

[Q] How to get Froyo: T-Mobile unlocked now on o2

My desire was purchased on T-Mobile (has T-Mobile startup screen), I also bought an unlock code from them. I'm now using my o2 contract sim in the phone. I'm interested in updating the software to FROYO but have no idea how to go about it.
I don't want to do anything complicated and am happy to wait for an official release. I've read the network sends an update direct to your phone. In my case would this come from T-Mobile or o2?
When I check for system updates it says none are available. My software number is 1.15.110.11
I've looked around the forum for ages but I still can't get a definite answer to my question.

You can be waiting for a very long time for froyo from a network provider.
It's easy to debrand and upgrade your phone. Create a goldcard & download an official ROM. Then you can simply upgrade OTA. There's loads of guides on this forum.

Hi there!
Understand your situation, since I had almost exactly the same circumstances (mine is running on orange)! I couldnt get a definite answer either, so bit the bullet anyway and did it, here is how:
1-rooted the phone by UnrEVOked method (really couldnt be bothered by the goldcard etc method; this method was easy, just had some driver install problems since the guide isnt too good on this point, but its easy to figure it out)
2-Installed the new radio
3-installed the generic rooted 2.2 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775, just by doing an easy straighforward update from the sdcard by going to the bootloader.
Phone was still UNLOCKED,and all running ok. Just had an issue where the phone would say "sim card changed, do you want ot load settings etc". Say NO, otherwise you lose your wallpapers, scenes, etc settings, and you have to redo the whole shebang.
Hope your experience is same as mine, im a noob too, so dont take anything for granted (your phone may have different firmware from mine etc), and make doubly sure before you go ahead!
Good luck.

Hi mate.
I'm in exact the same situation (German T-mobile 2.1 Softnumber: 1.15.110.11). Your guide looks awesome!!! Can you please please please write it in a bit detail?? from a factory branded 2.1 to root, then to froyo?? please??
I read the UnrEVOked guide from rootmydroid.co.uk
but looks like I only need to the first half for your step 1?
does it root the phone ? does it wipe all my settings and apps???
I also don't know what to do with the radio in your step 2??
can you please help??!! THX soooooooooo much !!!!

Hi thanks for the replies, very useful info.
Does rooting the phone invalidate the warranty?? That's what's putting me off doing it and why I'm happy to wait for an official update.

Hey forgot10!
The step 2 of unrevoked guide is installing the ROM of your choice. Just pick the new ROM you want (from many here and other forums, I just picked a rooted generic 2.2), and install as per part 2 of the unrevoked guide.
2.2 requires a new radio, which is linked and shown in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775. Installing the radio doesnt wipe the data, but you seem to need to WIPE (from the recovery image) before putting the new ROM. So use TItanium Backup, or MYbackup, to save your apps, and user data on the SD card, then when the new ROM is installed, you reinstall one of those apps (from market) then rewrtie your apps/data!
As per warranty, check the other threads to be sure, but i think, yes it does invalidate your warranty, but im not 100% certain!
Regards

[Q] Update to Froyo on Orange locked phone ?

ive rooted my desire a few months ago with no probs, and now wondering if it's easy enough to update to froyo 2.2? phone is locked to orange if that makes a difference
thanks

For FroYo you'll need the new radio.
The new radio doesn't work properly with Orange.
You have to buy an unlock code.

ok thanks for that, how much are they?

The new radio does work with orange. I'm using it so you don't need to unlock your phone.

have u got a link to that one i could use m8?

I can't link because I'm a new user but have a look in development for the stock radio thread and its 5.09.00.20 (the latest). That should work.

thanks m8..

Hi there,
I debranded my orange phone a couple of weeks ago using a gold card and installing the
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe ROM from Development Section.
I then did one OTA update that left me at software version
1.15.405.4
There was another OTA update available that would have put me at the 1.21.405.4 but due to some adverse remarks about requiring an unlock code I decided to stay where I was for the time being.
Yesterday after a few beers I decided to root my phone and update to Froyo.
So first off I rooted my phone using Unrevoked3.1 and an Ubuntu LiveCD. This only took about 10 minutes as I already had an Ubuntu CD sitting about. I followed the guide at
http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/desire/howtolinux-root-your-desire-using-unrevoked-in-linux
While I had the LiveCd in my laptop I also took the opportunity to use Gparted to format my memory card. I formatted the whole card FAT32. I then shrunk the FAT32 partition to leave 512MB at the end of the card. A new EXT3 partition was then made on the 512MB portion.
I then followed the rest of the guide to install the ROM and Radio from the LeoDroid thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724123
Underneath the link for the Radio there is a note that says "Orange users will need an unlock code." so at this point I was resigning myself to purchasing an unlock code.
Anyway I installed the ROM first and when it installed I was still able to use my phone without the unlock code so happy days as they say. But after playing around with it for a while I noticed a few issues such as the camcorder causing the phone to reboot after about 10 seconds.
After reading through the thread for the ROM I realized that I would have to install the radio as well.
After installing the new radio I still did not require an unlock code but there were still a few issues with the camcoder. There was a lot of background noise.
Post 1 of the thread says that a full wipe is recommended. So this was done and everything seems to working OK without unlock code
Hope this helps
Matt

[Help!] Quick question about flashing from Virgin branding to WWE

I've been reading and flashing all afternoon.
I have a non-simlocked phone but it has a Virgin Media bootscreen and a link app on the home page to their website.
I've flashed successfully twice with WWE ROMs but after it's all done, it goes through the device setup screens (as expected) but when it gets round to the home screen, the Virgin stuff pops up again.
It's almost like I do really flash it, but the branding is persisting for some reason and I can't do any OTA Froyo updates or anything as it is presumably looking for the Virgin version which may never come.
So, what am I doing wrong here?
Cheers,
Joe

What is the full name of the RUU you have flashed with?

These are the ones I used:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe
Both ran the course successfully and so I expected the Virgin stuff to have gone, only for it to reappear.
Have I used the right ones?
Only other thing (if relevant) is that I haven't rooted and my current end goal is a plain old vanilla Froyo from HTC (official version). I had planned on using these ROM's to enable an OTA update to take place you see...
EDIT: I see this page says to have the update.zip on the SD whereas the method I was doing was get into bootloader on the phone and run the exe on the PC.
http://www.droid-den.com/phone-guides/phone-guide-how-to-root-the-htc-desire <--see section 4 for the extra file that they say to use.
Thanks for any advice dudes - I've been going round in circles with this for 4 hours now!

It'd seem those two RUUs have Virgin branding included, especially if you were able to run them without a goldcard.
If all you want to do is end up with stock froyo just run the RUU directly:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
This will require a goldcard.

Ok thanks a lot for that.
I'm a bit new to Android coming from years of WinMo - can I ask how does it work that after the ROM's been flashed that the Virgin stuff comes back?
Is there a portion of the phone's ROM that doesn't get overwritten? I'm on T-Mobile for a network so it's not getting it from my SIM.
Cheers,
Joe

I haven't looked at those two RUUs, but they could contain code to install some Virgin branding after flashing if your phone has a Virgin CID.
An RUU will flash the entire phone's software.

So the Goldcard lets me flash the ROM but then afterwards the CID kicks in and tells the newly installed firmware to be carrier specific then?
Ok, my end goal has changed very slightly - get to a stock HTC 2.2 ROM and get rid of the Virgin branding!
Going for some food - back in 15 mins! I want to get this sorted!
Thanks,
Joe

Normally that won't happen. If you flash stock froyo you should get rid of any Virgin branding.

Ok, I'm going in.
Call 999 if I'm not back in half an hour
I will report back soon!

Remember you need a goldcard, or you'll be back sooner than you hope.

All done thanks.
Yes I used my Goldcard and it's all gone through fine, same as the others, except...(drum roll)...no Virgin branding!!!!
I tried an update check afterwards and nothing's available - all up to date - I assume then this is the newest build out there and there's nothing else to update now?
Thanks a million for your help - if I could buy you a beer or two I would but the chances of you being near SW Essex in the UK are low.
Cheers,
Joe

Heh, thanks. That is the latest unbranded build, yes - make sure you use a goldcard whenever you want to install future OTA updates though.

Can you change rom without rooting?

I have a T-mobile uk branded desire (firmware version 2.1 -update 1 )
(software number 1.15.110.11), I dont want to root as i want to keep the warranty, but the low volume problem is really pissing me off, I tried to watch a film while stuck on the underground today, I could not hear a word of it, even with hi end sennheisers, its really pissing me off!!!
I have been told that switching to the stock HTC rom will solve the issue.
If possible pls explain how? I am an android newb and will need help.
Many thanks in advance.

sadly, no.
But if you have a problem, you can keep a backup of the stock HTC sense rom, and restore it. Additionally, you can restore the recovery to stock (I think i saw it somewhere).
After all that, you are good to go. Warranty still valid, and you can RMA it

Thanks for the reply, pls remember I am a newb, how do I do this???

Root your phone, do what you want with it, just keep this handy...
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
It's the current T-Mobile UK stock ROM and can be reflashed at any point to return to stock for warranty purposes (link may go down occationally so keep trying until you have it)...to reflash the stock ROM just make sure you have your Desire connected to your PC with HTC Sync and run the file - simple as that!!

I really dont want to root it to be honest, the phone is perfect except for the media volume! Do you think if I contacted htc they would be able to tell me how to change the rom without rooting it?

You CANNOT change the ROM without rooting, and HTC wouldn't tell you as it's breech of their warranty...just root it, you can always go back to stock if need be using the file I posted

Rooting isn't for everyone. If you have doubts about it, you should not do it. It's better to read some more about it than to hastely brick your phone. Most bricks are solvable these days, but it is no fun to do. If you want root just for the volume, it's not worth it if you don't know what you're doing, imho.
Sent from my Evil Lair using Doomsday Device

I have a T-Mo branded Desire that I have de-branded to a stock ROM, it's been OTA updated to 2.2 and just this morning it OTA updated to the new release all without rooting.
You just need to create a goldcard (very easy using the helper program) which will allow you to install any stock RUU. I have left the goldcard in my phone as it works as a standard microSD anyway to avoid any problems that occur when updating with out a gold card in.
I can't post links as I'm too much of a newb around here but search and the links are there.
