Nah,
We have the One series (X,S,V), then the budget desire series (C and V internationaly so far), and some "China only" models
This is HTC's new non confusing branding scheme. Isn't it awesome that a former flagship (Desire) is now the name chosen for a budget line?
Now if they would only release a refreshed One S with 32gb of storage! (I know, dead horse seriously flogged!)

it is realy desire because my girlfriend has it in her hands...and on it and on the box it is Desire

I've got the same phone. Model # T328W. Go into the language settings and change the language to English.
Done.
I know it's that simple because I did it already. But if there is still anything in Chinese, write what it is,and I'll check it out on mine also.
We just need a "Desire V" forum, especially now that this 'same' phone got released for European countries, too!

just to add to this, the phone is real, and with Desire V (T328W), it's WCDMA, where as Desire VC is CDMA2000,
anyhow it's quit a surprise that you are able to have Google Play on your Desire V, since most (if not all) of the chinese phone does not come with Google apps, at least my Desire V..LOL
still waiting for the Desire V to be launch in other countries, so I can flash my China Desire V to a new ROM that supports google play and google apps.
+1 for Desire V forum!

Yes it is, but the only thing it has in common with this phone is the name.
For a phone with the same soc etc check out the Desire S forums. Though, in terms of changing language they probably couldn't help you either. Posting under Android, general might help.

My T328W came with OS version 1.35.
Recently it got an OTS update to 1.56.
This happened while i was in process to unlock boot-loader, root the phone, and begin installation of gaps.
Now the phone seems to be in "NEVER NEVER land". I cant do much with it. WIFI and Bluetooth are not working.
I can readily lock and unlock the boot-loader.
The security is on. S-ON.
I want to go back to 1.35 (factory shipped version) but cannot as different errors come up when trying ton install RUU. I do have the original version RUU it shipped with.
There seems to be much confusion as to how install this orignal RUU. S-ON or should it be OFF. How do i turn it OFF.
BASICALLY
I want to get the phone completely back to shipped version. So then i can begin the root, and gaps installation.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Anyone tried this?

T-Mobile UK OTA Update

Reports on other forums are saying there is a new OTA for the T-Mobile branded Desires, software version 2.12.110.4
Hopefully they've sorted out the German side of things!!!
Downloading now, release notes says it removed all the uneccessary German apps from various regions (UK, NL etc).
If you can post up the radio version once done so we can check it out...
ROM: 2.12.110.4
Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
After applying the update I have the following version:
Baseband-Version: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Beat me to it. Same here after the update
Hmmm.. I'm a little concerned that I seem to have 2MB less available application space after the OTA update. A reboot of the phone hasn't cleared it, so something has either grown or has locked up free space.
Grrr...
Z.
Anybody else done this yet?
I don't think its worth removing the German apps if it makes no difference to the phone memory space.

Since update I am unable to access certain apps on the Market. For example Rail Planner Live. Paid for app that I deleted to free up space for the upgrade but now can't get it back. Evening Standard also not available.
My Desire must think it is not in UK. Germany perhaps?
Anyone else having these problems after the upgrade?
I can confirm. Also, I am seeing a whole bundle of Market apps in German that I never used to see before. I'm sure I would have noticed them previously.

installing 2.12.110.4 on a rooted device....
Just to let you all know-it can be installed on a rooted device, as I just did.
Download the update file OTA.
It will give a signature error as mentioned above on installation.
Using Astro file manager:
Access the folder 'download' on the SDcard.
Move the installation OTA update file from that folder up one level to the SDcard and rename it 'update.zip'
Installation:
1. power off phone
2. hold "volume down" and turn on phone
3. A screen should appear showing your phone's system searching for various files. Scroll down to “recovery” using the volume down button and press the “Power” button
4. When you see the triangle with an exclamation point symbol, press the “Power” and “Volume Up” buttons at the same time. This may take a few attempts
5. From the menu that appears, use the trackball to select "Apply sdcard:update.zip." Press down on the trackball to start.
6. When the screen displays "Install from sdcard complete" use trackball to select "reboot system now" and wait for the phone to power back up.
With me it got stuck into a boot cycle but after a baterry pull and another try all was good!

It'll be the ROM thumbprint at Google. Will sort itself but may take a few weeks...

That should have been set up before the OTA was issued. It means that I cannot update a purchased application now either.

Care to post the OTA update ZIP then, seeing as no one else has...
One week on from the OTA update many apps are still missing from the market for me. Particularly Rail Planner Live which is paid for and I removed to free up the 25MB required for the update and can no longer replace. Another "missing" app is a paid for Bridge game with Omar Sharif in the title but cannot remember the exact title.
Even if you do not use the apps could someone please check if they can find it (particularly Rail Planner Live which I am sure is the correct title) on the market? T-Mobile UK with latest stock ROM of course. Many Thanks.
Exact same problem for me, stock T-Mobile ROM.

P800 chinese dual sim Android - upgrade to 2.2.1

I have this P800 dual sim that runs on Android 2.2 (which in fact I think it is 2.1) and a Chinese Ingenic JZ4760 CPU (600 mhz), 256 RAM, 256 ROM. It has capacitive screen, GPS and Wi-fi. I'm desperate to install Android 2.2.1 on it for some tweaks and I don't know how because I'm new at this. I contacted the supplier but he couldn't help me with this.
Main problems:
1. Where can I find a working ROM for this so I`ll still have the dual sim option? Can't I just install a ROM from any other chinese dual sim or it has something to do with the drivers, CPU on the phone? I saw the hero H6 modding thread here on xda..
2. How do I make a full back up of the phone so I can go back to the original settings if something goes wrong?
3. How do I install new ROM without bricking it?
4. Is it absolutely necessary to root before I install the new Android?
If you want more information about kernel, hardware or anything else I can tell you from "Android system info" application that I installed on it. I might be a noob but I can learn really fast.
Please help! I just need you people to point me into the right direction.
To see the phone just search "P800 Android" on google

this files was taken from russian forum (forum .china-iphone .ru / viewtopic .php?f=22&t=11424)
Thank you for this. I will try it. I just have some questions: who made this firmware? and why don`t they talk in english so everybody can understand? I need to know if anyone used this firmware and if there will be updated firmwares in the future.
This firmware is made by manufacturer of p800, "rooted" system.img repacked by enthusiast from Israel. I'm and other users from topic about p800 of forum china-iphone.ru use this firmware. Reseller in China promise to send newer firmware on this week. As soon as it happen, link will be available at that topic.
On that forum everybody talk in Russian and foreign-speaking peoples uses Google-translate service to understand us.
For me, for example, English is not comfortable. (I think you can see it in my posts because my grammar).
When the new firmware is available can you please post a link in this topic too?
And since you use this firmware can you tell me if some of the problems I have, are solved? For example:
-Android market working?
-proximity senzor
-microphone
-did you get rid of all those useless chinese applications?
-is it Android version 2.2 or 2.2.1?
-wireless working?
-bluetooth working (sending/receiving)
-both cameras working?
-GPS navigation with iGO working?
-if you reset the phone at factory settings do you lose the IMEIs?
what did you do to install this firmware?
Is adobe Flash and adobe reader working? what about yahoo messenger?

Ok, I'll post link to new firmware, when it will exist.
Mic on my phone working excellent, Android 2.2, proximity sensor worked on Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B11, but on Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B16 it is not working, both cameras taking photos, but not video. GPS works with (download .osmand .net /latest-night-build/OsmAnd-stable.apk). Wifi is ok. I didn't here about loosing IMEI by this device. I didn't use Andr. market. Now when you have root access you may uninstall everything yourself.
would you please see if the bluetooth, android market, flash player and yahoo messenger is working? Do I need offline maps for OsmAnd to work?
Just now I send a *.docx file to Nokia phone by bluetooth without any problem. OsmAnd as i know will ask you to download offline maps at first run (You need just select Country/region you want to download) BUT i don't know is it free or not. My phone have no internet connection now, thats why i can't help you with flash and yahoo
Hi,
I've questions about this phone. I've see this chinese model with new processor and dual sim support. On the paper it seems a very nice product:
http://www.shanzai.com/index.php/ma...00-phone-running-on-a-chinese-made-jz4760-cpu
but the problem is when i want to find to buy this product
1. is only in english or chinese (french is my mother tongue)
2. i had 3 p/n z800 or p800 or pz800 (in russia)
3. in some site it claims it's a MTK6515 cpu inside and is only a fake on the system properties for the p800
4. in all site it claims 256 ram and 512 rom, but in this topic you say 256/256
for exemple here for P800:
http://www.fastcardtech.com/goods-5...droid+22+os+GPS+Dual+sim+card+phone+wifi.html
and here for z800:
http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/s...iFi_JAVA_GPS_Qaud_Band_GSM_Smart_Phone_-37579
Where is the truth?
Finally if it's really the new Ingenic CPU, it's really better than a MTK6516?
Thanks for you advice

Hello.
1. Android on this phone (like on other) is multilingual (French exist exactly)
2. As i know p800 = z800 = pz800.
3. If it will be useful to you I can say that i owned Toshiba portege g810 for 1.5 years, p800 is really better. It is not so fast as HTC HD2, but not so slow as Toshiba Portege g810.
4. I don't know about it's ROM and RAM, beside it is enough for me.
Now some useful application are not installable on p800, but i believe that new firmware will made progress in this.
Some users said, that old versions of firmware had problems with low sensitive mic, now it is ok.
Till now the preamp level of speaker are too high, that is why not comfortable to use it on max volume.
And the 3rd difficulty us in setting up navigation software, people says, that it is impossible to install iGo or navitel (OsmAnd is workable).
The next problem is inability of setting max ringer alert volume, when speaking volume is not on the max level.
The quality of materials and manufacturing are high.
Oh, i forgot to say about excellent touch and bright (suppose AMOLED) screen.
The CPU model is jz4760
P. S. In store where i bought it the details are mistaken too ( www .aliexpress .com /fm-store/403972/210660520-441180847/Hot-Selling-2011-Android-2-2-Phones-P800-phones-with-gps-wifi-java-dual-sim-dual.html)

Please tell me step by step how did you root and install this firmware. If you could answer today it would be great. I tried to root with SuperOne Click to make a full backup in case something goes wrong but it didn`t work and I opened USBbootTool.exe but it`s in chinese and I don`t know what to do. A video tutorial would be really nice..
Step 1. Installing the driver loader.
0. Unpack the archive with the firmware.
1. Turn off the phone, remove battery.
2. Hold down the "volume up" button and connect to the cable.
3. Remove your finger from button. =)
4. PC will find new device and ask the driver (is sited in the "uboot_driver" folder).
5. after installing the driver to turn off the phone from cable.
Step2. prepearing Root
1. Replace file "system.img" in "img" folder with "system.img" from dedicated archive.
Step 3. Flashing:
1. Run USBBootTool.
2. Turn off the phone, detach battery.
3. Hold down the "volume up" button on the phone and connect USB-cable.
3 1/2. remove your finger from button.
4. The process will start automatically.
5. After flashing you'll see Chinese dialog window - it ask you to enter the serial number of 14 digits that has no matter.
6. After that, just insert the batteries, and power on your phone.
Warnings
1. This oeration will DELETE all your custom files, thats why backup phonebook to SD-card or to PC
2. Connect USB-cable to backplate of your PC and use original cable or better if possible.
3. Win 7 x64 didn't install that driver. You must use x86 (32bit) windows versions.

Step 3. Flashing:
1. Run USBBootTool.
2. Turn off the phone, detach battery.
3. Hold down the "volume up" button on the phone and connect USB-cable.
3 1/2. remove your finger from button.
4. The process will start automatically.
5. After flashing you'll see Chinese dialog window - it ask you to enter the serial number of 14 digits that has no matter.
6. After that, just insert the batteries, and power on your phone.
Warnings
1. This oeration will DELETE all your custom files, thats why backup phonebook to SD-card or to PC
2. Connect USB-cable to backplate of your PC and use original cable or better if possible.

Hi!
I didn't fill serial number at all, somebody fill this with random digits.
USBbootTool is in Chinese, all settings are correct, you do not need to change anything there. Just follow the instruction.
Good luck!
Thank you very much. It works.
1. After you unpack the archive the Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B16_生产版本 folder must be renamed to Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B16
2. The steps were correct but I don`t know how to verify that it`s rooted
3. Like you said it didn`t work on my Win 7 x64 so I went to my neighbor who had Win XP
4. I put 11111111111111 when it asked for serial number and it worked so it doesn`t matter indeed
5. Proximity senzor not working at all
6. Android keyboard missing (Sogou Input instead)
7. The name of the operators still doesn`t appear in notifications just like before. There are just some numbers: 22610 for Orange and 22603 for Cosmote
8. USSD code for Cosmote still not working. *123*2# - This is for showing me how many messages I have left on Cosmote.
I will test different applications so I can see what's working and I`m waiting for updated firmwares from you. Thanks again. You`ve been very helpful. There should be more people like you.

Thank you for comment.
I'm just translating information from Russian topic. And giving my experience of using this phone.
2. To verify rooting i'd install Root Explorer and now it is possible to set RW parametr on system folders. Some application start workig after changing firmware, before this apps said that root permission missed.
5. Yes, proximity sensor is not used by interface in this firmware.
6. Android keyboard are able to be selected. For example, open messages and choose creating of new SMS then made long press on text field and tap "select input method" appeared, you need to choose "Guboi alphabetic..."
7th & 8th problems are nod fixed yet
Hello everyone, I have the same phone and when I was trying to root it start making problems and then it's not booting anymore, so this firmware is very important to me, I'm in United Arab Emirates and it's almost impossible to download from Rapidshare. So can anyone be kind and upload both of the firmware to any other site midiafire will be great if possible
http://www.mediafire.com/?ptgu7rdps2gjd22
http://www.mediafire.com/?5j53v5x0zg6zc1c
At the end just wait until it doesn`t do anything anymore(just be patient), then unplug the cable, put the battery and power it on(don`t put the battery with the cable pluged, you could distroy the battery). The booting will take a little longer than before.
If you can root it, please tell me how you did it..

ZTE U950 - Root, Recovery, ROM (& Google Play)

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY NEGATIVE IMPACTS OR CONSEQUENCES ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU SO CHOOSE TO USE THIS GUIDE.
I own the ZTE U950 and had realized that there is very little information (in English) on how to do anything beyond stock for this incredible phone. After hours of research and translation I was able to figure out everything needed to get this phone to a "better" state. Since then I - and other XDA members - have been trying to keep the ZTE U950 alive...
ZTE U950 SPECS
NVIDIA TEGRA 3 (1.3MHz)
1GB RAM
4.3" Display (480x800)
5MP Front Camera/0.3MP Back Camera
Android OS 4.0.4
DRIVERS
Here are the "Join Me" drivers so that your PC can recognize the ZTE U950.
KERNEL
Stock - This is the stock kernel's source file.
Custom - This is a custom kernel for stock ROMs that can be OC'd to 2.5GHz.
ROOT
1) Make sure you have USB Debugging Mode and Unknown Sources checked in your phone Settings.
2) Connect your phone to your PC.
3) Download and open Genotools.
4) The program will open, click the 4th tab (last tab on the right).
5) Ensure that your phone is plugged into your PC.
6) Click the 2nd ROOT button.
7) A popup window will appear, press OK.
8) Your phone will then have a popup window, click the "Restore My Data" option.
9) The phone will restart several times, leave it for a few minutes.
10) This is the odd part... The phone will likely not stop restarting, and when you try to click the unlock key for the screen, it will automatically restart. Disconnect the phone. It should continue to restart.
11) Force the phone off.
12) Restart the phone.
13) If you have SuperUser, you are then rooted. If not, repeat these steps.
ROOT - NEW VERSION #1 (UNTESTED!):
1) Download the file here.
2) The instructions read verbatim are, "1 If your phone is not acquired before the ROOT privileges, we choose 1 root [next line] 2 after enter". Which I assume means click root, then enter...
ROOT - NEW VERSION #2 (UNTESTED!):
1) Download the root kit here made for the ZTE U950 (it uses the Chinese recovery), and extract to your desktop.
2) On your phone, go into Settings and enable USB Debugging under Developer options.
3) Connect the phone to your PC (Windows OS should fail to recognize the device).
4) Run either DrvInst_x64.exe or DrvInst_x86.exe. If you are unsure what you have, run both, the wrong one will fail with an error message.
5) After installation, unplug and replug your phone.
6) Go into Device Manager. You should be able to see a "ZTE TD Handset ADB Interface" under the "Android Phone" section. If you don't, reinstall the drivers again.
7). To root, simply run the U950_Root.bat file, and follow the instructions.
RECOVERY (CWM/TWRP)
1) Download the Chinese CWM or English TWRP recovery.img and place it into the root folder of your external SD card.
2) Download a terminal emulator. (If you are unable to download one, use the APP TRICKS described near the bottom to install a terminal emulator onto your phone.)
3) Open the terminal emulator.
4) Type in "su" then hit the return button.
5) Now type in the following:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS
(and press the return button)
6) There should be a few lines beginning with something like 14052 or 14272, if not, then the above input was not typed correctly. If so, the recovery should now be installed.
GET INTO RECOVERY
1) Turn the phone off.
2) Hold the Power button + Volume Down button. When the ZTE logo comes up, count two seconds and then let go of the buttons.
3) The phone will enter into recovery. Use the Volume rockers for up and down and the power button to choose (if on CWM), or simply touch the buttons (if on TWRP).
4) I will describe the standard processes here if using CWM - the menus are top-to-bottom on the phone, which are written left-to-right here:
The Main Menu:
[*] Reboot system now
[*] Select zip to flash/install
[*] Wipe data
[*] Wipe cache
[*] Backup and restore
[*] Flash memory/Format
[*] Advanced setting
[*] Turn off phone
The Zip Menu:
[*] Install from zip
[*] Install from internal
Wipe Date:
[*] Confirm wipe data
[*] Do not wipe data
Wipe Cache:
[*] Confirm wipe cache
[*] Do not wipe cache
Backup and Restore:
[*] Backup
[*] Restore

CM10/.1 - HeatSka Edition
This should be listed under ROMS, but I felt that it needed its own section. Ska and I worked on this for quite some time getting all the kinks worked out. We did not create the original version of this unofficial Cyanogenmod port, but the original had many issues and was not maintained after its initial release. All the major problems have been worked out in our HeatSka edition.
The ROM was initially CM10 (4.1.2), but it has been mixed with files that list it as 4.2.2 (CM10.1) under the information section. In either case, it is Jelly Bean! Aside from the fixes we have implemented, there are also numerous tweaks and mods for UI speed, network speed, battery consumption, app installs, and much more. There is almost no theming, just enough to know that this is our enhanced (and better) variation.
The only known issue that may arise is CPU throttling. We have included an app called, "LGP880 Booster". This app will allow a CPU speed boost when turned on, with a temperature threshold to prevent overheating. If you wish to save battery, only enable this app when playing a game or using CPU-intensive apps.
DOWNLOAD: CM10.1/2 - HeatSka
FLASH A ROM
1) Download a ROM.
2) Place the ROM in the root of the phone's SD card.
3) Enter into recovery.
4) Wipe data.
5) Wipe cache.
NOTE: Wipe data and cache are the Factory Reset button in TWRP.
6) Follow the menus to get to the ROM in the SD card.
7) Click the power button to choose the ZIP if on CWM (or just push the designated button on TWRP).
8) The ROM is being flashed.
9) Follow the left arrow (the last selection) on the menus to get back to the main menu.
10) Choose the first option on the main menu to reboot on CWM (or click Reboot followed by System in TWRP).
NOTE I: The ROM will probably be in Chinese. Find the Settings icon and click it. Go down to the Language & Input setting and click it (there is a capital "A" next to it). Click the top setting and choose the desired language.
NOTE II: There may not be an English keyboard available, so download this 4.2 keyboard ZIP file and flash it in recovery.
INSTALL GOOGLE PLAY
1) Download and install a file explorer like ES Explorer (free) or Root Explorer (paid). (If the phone is unable to download a file explorer, use the APP TRICKS described near the bottom to install one onto the phone.)
2) Download and take the three files from the RAR file for Google Play and place them in a folder on the phone that can easily be reached with a file explorer.
3) Open up a file explorer.
4) Move the three files to the "/System/App" folder on the phone.
5) Give the three files each the same permissions (Read for all three groups, and Write for User).
6) Restart the phone and Google Play should now be installed.
Notes: a) There are cases where two Google Play store icons may appear. They should both work and not cause problems.
b) If the store does not show, redo the process above.
c) This trick does seem to work on other Android devices as I have successfully done this on a Galaxy Note N7000.
INSTALL FACTORY ROM
1) Download a Factory ROM from above and place the "update.zip" file in the root of your external SD card.
2) Go to Settings.
3) Go down to About Phone and click that.
4) Click on System Updates.
5) Remove the check mark.
6) Click OK.
7) The phone should restore to whichever factory update file was used.
APN FIX (MOBILE DATA FIX)
If your mobile data is not working then use this method to fix your APN:
1) Revert to stock ROM (or any custom ROM where mobile data does work).
2) Download and open a file explorer like Root Explorer or ES Explorer.
3) Go to /system/etc
4) Copy "apns-conf.xml".
5) Go to /sdcard/
6) Paste "apns-conf.xml".
7) Flash ROM.
8) Download a file explorer and open it.
9) Copy "apns-conf.xml".
10) Go to /system/etc
11) Paste "apns-conf.xml" (overwriting the existing file).
12) Reboot the phone.
13) Mobile data should now work.
GAME SUPPORT FOR ZTE U950 (WORKS ONLY FOR U950V1.0.0B02)
Note: I have not tested this. Apparently the first firmware version of this phone is not recognized by Google Play for certain Tegra games. If this occurs, try the following method.
1) Make a backup of the System folder. (It is easier to make a Backup of the entire ROM in recovery...)
2) Insert the build.prop file from this file.
3) Clear the Data for Google Play store (Settings > Apps > Google Play > Clear Data).
4) Reboot the phone.
5) When opening Google Play it should make give their agreement again. If it doesn't, then Data has not been cleared.
6) The rows modified in the build prop is as follows:
Desire ro.product.model = X
HTC ro.product.brand =
Desire ro.product.name = X
Desire ro.product.device = X
...
HTC ro.product.manufacturer =
AGAIN, I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS SO USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
APP SUPPORT FOR ZTE U950
Note: Some apps will throw package errors after downloaded and then will not install. This method will help a lot of these errors from occurring. It doesn't work for all, but it will for some [tested with Dead Trigger 2].
1) Download this file.
2) Use a file explorer like ES Explorer (free) or Root Explorer (paid) and put com.google.android.maps.xml in /system/etc/permissions
3) Put com.google.android.maps.jar in /system/framework
4) Reboot the phone and now apps should install without issue.
DEAD TRIGGER 1
1) Enable graphics details to High in Setup/Others.
2) Exit the game.
3) Use a file explorer like ES Explorer (free) or Root Explorer (paid) and go to /data/data/com.madfingergames.deadtrigger/shared_prefs/
4) Edit the com.madfingergames.deadtrigger.xml file.
5) Change <int name=”UnityGraphicsQuality” value=”1″ /> to <int name=”UnityGraphicsQuality” value=”2″ />
6) Change <int name=”OptionsGraphicDetail” value=”2″ /> to <int name=”OptionsGraphicDetail” value=”3″ />
7) Save the com.madfingergames.deadtrigger.xml file.
8) Remove all write permission on User, Group and Other for the com.madfingergames.deadtrigger.xml file.
9) Delete the com.madfingergames.deadtrigger.xml.bak file.
Note: This technique works on any non-Tegra device.
APP TRICKS
If apps cannot be downloaded normally (from Google Play), this guide will show an alternative method on how to install them:
1) Download the necessary apk file online.
2) Open the 4.2LatinIme.zip with 7zip or WinRAR and delete the keyboard APK (or keep it if not installed yet).
3) While the ZIP is open go into "/Sytem/App" and place in it any APK you want installed.
4) Boot into recovery.
5) Flash the ZIP file.
6) Reboot and the app(s) should be installed.
Note: I have noticed that certain apps do not flash properly so an alternative APK needs to be downloaded. However, once you have the right apps to install Google Play, you should be able to download any apps from the store.
HARDWARE FIXES BY SKA
NOTE: Always work without the battery attached to the phone.
SIM Card No Longer Works
INFO: There is a diode which provides voltage to the SIM card. Somehow it has become loose, which disallows current to the SIM. Thus, the baseband cannot recognize the SIM card any longer.
FIX: The easiest way to fix and check something is to "re-flow" the PCB (printed circuit board). The modem soldering must be re-flowed in order to reconnect the loose diode and re-allow voltage back to the SIM card.
Touchscreen Not Displaying
Open up your phone. If you don't know how, then you won't be able to continue...
There are three connectors on the left soc side. Check the upper connector near the audio jack and try to seat with a pair of tweezers very gently.
There is a white line on every connector - apart from the battery connector - pull up straight. It must be exactly at the of the beginning of the brown clip when pulled downwards.
MISC
I have successfully paired this phone with a PS3 controller using Sixaxis. This is not unique to my phone as I have verified that there is support within the Kernel for this.
It does seem that Wii controller support can be turned on according to the kernel...
There are no known custom kernels for this phone, however, the incomplete Cyanogenmod ROM available does seem to use its own kernel.
The phone is "stuck" on ICS 4.0.4 with almost every ROM. The incomplete Cyanogenmod ROM upgrades the OS to JB 4.1.2.
The phone is known to have heating issues on different (all?) firmware versions. While these do not seem to attribute to hardware failure, it is an annoyance.
Different firmware versions apparently produce varying levels of GPU performance: The best in GPU performance is U950V1.0.0B14, but this build may produce issues in some games. The worst in GPU performance is U950V1.0.0B18, but it is stable. The U950V1.0.0B22 is stable as well but has better GPU performance than B18. I have found no information on how well the first and last firmware versions perform in terms of GPU.
To disconnect the battery connector you need to place a spudger beneath and lift up. It is the same method used for the connectors of fans, temperature sensors, and the battery in a MacBook Pro 2006/7/8.

Unfortunately I haven't found anything that would suggest that you can. The best I could do is have one of my friends tell me what each section states, but that may be a long while from now.
The menus I have figured out and listed are the most necessary. The others are just icing I suppose.
Unable to switch it back on
Hi,
first of all, please excuse me if this is not exactly related to this post, but I see there is not much discussion around this device so I figured this would be an okayish place to ask.
I got my ZTE U950 just today, put my SIM and MicroSD cards in it, turned it on, all OK. I played with it for a while, changed the language into English, tried some apps, deleted lots of default installed Chinese apps (such as Baidu, QQ, Baidu maps, etc).
I run Debian on my machine, so this guide wasn't working for me. However, I tried to run Genotools on Wine and followed the first steps, but no pop-up showed in my phone and I decided that probably Wine wasn't forwarding the USB dev properly. The phone kept on working normally for a while, I even recieved a phone call.
Then I turned it off just to switch the SIM back to my old phone and, after that, I haven't been able to switch the ZTE back on again. At first I thought it'd be the battery running out (although it reported 50% left while it was on), but I've had it connected for about 30 minutes now and I still can't turn it on...
Do you guys know if there is something I can try?
Thanks a lot and excuse me again if I posted in the wrong place... (and if I have, could you please point out where should I post it?)
Bernat.
EDIT: Today I woke up, I pressed the power button and... surprise! It just worked!

Do you have the usb-drivers installed ? (doublechek in device manager for windows ) Sometimes Win7-64 or Firewalls block uncertified drivers to install correctly. For 7-64 you can press F8 during early boot and choose "force unsigned drivers" or something simiar. On linux you should go through an Android adb installation howto, to correctly get debuginterface running.
Once you have installed chinese recover you can install some prerooted images from the hungarion or chinese sites.

I just bought ZTE V985 which is also tegra 3 device. Can anyone help how to root it?

how to root zte v985
someone please tell us how to root zte v985.
3G
Hi guys,
does anybody know if/how it is possible to connect to a 3G network with this terminal? In the specs it says it can only connect to Chinese 3G networks, so I'd like to know whether this is a software or a hardware restriction.
If it's a hardware one, I guess the solution must be pretty complex...
Cheers!

I was able to root my ZTE V985 couple days ago. Download root installation package from:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=68344&uk=2753639880
1. Install ZTE USB driver first: Goto Settings -Developer options - enable Driver CDROM. Connect your phone to the computer and install driver package from ZTE. 985root.7z package has also ZTE USB driver but it didn't work on my Win 7, so I installed drivers from phone.
2. Turn off CDROM mode and enable USB debugging mode and Unknown sources
3. Unzip 985root.7z file to any folder
4. Run xxxroot.bat and command window appears. Script will stop and ask you to press any key (in Chinese)
5. Check that your phone is connected and press any key. Script will upload files to your phone
6. There will be popup window on your phone. Click Restore my data
7. Phone will then boot up but keep it connected to PC and wait until it is fully booted
8. if there's nothing going on in command window, press any key and command window closes. If your are rooted, you have SuperUser app

Hahaha you silly billy, i know whats happened to you! You got the ZTE U985 instead of the V985. The ZTE U985 only supports TD-SCDMA 3g network which is CHINA only. You should have bought the ZTE V985 which is WCDMA 800/1900/2100 mhz which supports western 3G networks. LMFAO. I feel sorry for you fella.
Where did you buy the v985 ? I only can find offers from 350-400$ and for this pricing I can´t find any real advantages buying a chinese phone , there is also no DualSim,and normally very limited languages ( chinese cwm?),....

I bought it from fastcardtech.com, only 275 USD with free delivery.
From hardware specs point of view this is a really good phone, fast as my Asus TF700T tab with Tegra 3. It also supports WCDMA 900/2100MHz which are the most used 3G frequencies in EU. It does have only English and Chinese languages, but I used MoreLocale 2 to get more choices. More Locale does not change system language (like settings, caller app etc) so those will remain in English, but for example now other apps like Google play, Chrome etc. supports the language you have chosen in MoreLocale.

Dont get it wrong my mate the zte v985 is a beast of a phone + a smart piece of hardware. Only downfall i see is the limited rom/root/customization support since its new (october 2012)
Reasons why you should purchase the zte v985:
1. really supports APP2SD (install apps to external sd so you never run out of space and you dont have to throw away your phone when internal memory of 4GB gets full like most other android phones)
2. quad core cpu + 12 core NVIDIA gpu (theres websites full of games made only for this cpu + gpu)
3. USB OTG (using your superfast cpu and gpu together with usb otg you can turn your phone into an high class gaming system using two usb game controllers playing arcade roms and 3d games ON YOUR PHONE!). This is an awesome feature that not all phones support even some high performance quad core phones dont have this function.
4. 720P HD screen + 1080P HD Playback/Recording
5. Full MHL support (usb to hdmi)
6. Cheapest all round high performance quad core. Awesome price (£190) for a phone compared to other quad core high performance phones e.g galaxy note 2 @ £500
NOTE: if you would like to buy this phone for the price mentioned leave a message with your email or contact me i know a seller in china.
NOTE: Or you could wait another month or two and buy the new mtk 6589 quad core phones such as the UMI X2 which is quad core, DUAL SIM, usb otg, 2GB RAM, 32GB ROM and dirt cheap (£200!!!)
I get my ZTE V985 today through the post, cant wait till i get it!

I bought it from fastcardtech.com, only 275 USD with free delivery.
From hardware specs point of view this is a really good phone, fast as my Asus TF700T tab with Tegra 3. It also supports WCDMA 900/2100MHz which are the most used 3G frequencies in EU. It does have only English and Chinese languages, but I used MoreLocale 2 to get more choices. More Locale does not change system language (like settings, caller app etc) so those will remain in English, but for example now other apps like Google play, Chrome etc. supports the language you have chosen in MoreLocale.

[Q] HTC Desire Z doesn't boot anymore after failed android update

Hello people,
Background info what I did before problem arose:
I wanted to root my Desire Z, so I figured out what to do:
- downgrade android 2.3.3 to 2.2 using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 ; option 4a didn't work, bootloader didn't see PC10IMG.zip while it was on the SD card in root folder. Option 4b did work luckily.
- root desire Z via http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD and made it to superCID, simlock off and S-OFF
So now I got a working Desire Z with android 2.2
Wish I stopped there...
I decided to try out android 4.2.1:
- I installed rom using http://genius-tips.com/update-htc-desire-z-to-android-4-2-1-jelly-bean-cm10-1-custom-rom/
It worked. I now have an Desire Z with android 4.2.1. But it was somewhat slowish so I decided I wanted my gingerbread back:
- I tried to install roms but somehow it didn't work, I kept my 4.2.1
- I followed the same steps I did to downgrade to 2.2 as described above, and it worked.
So I got a working Desire Z with android 2.2
- using HTC software update (settings -> about telephone -> software update) I download and install update 1
- download and install update 2
From here it gets interesting for this topic:
- download and install update 3, which is android 2.3; and during the install, while I still have my usb cable connected from laptop to telephone, my laptop battery runs out and update on telephone somehow fails (WTF, it is in charge only mode when it is installing right? The battery was full, or full enough, the telephone downloaded the update itself to SD-card or internal memory, so I assumed there was no connection.)
But now the Desire Z doesn't boot any more, it stays on the htc logo, without the 'quietly brilliant'.
- I tried via bootloader reset to factory defaults: vibrate, htc logo, image of telephone with green arrows above and loader below with image of SD-card on the right of loader. But loader doesn't progress and after some time telephone resets and stays at htc logo.
- I tried recovery via bootloader: vibrate, htc logo, and image of telephone with red exclamation mark and red triangle.
- no connection via sdk/adt.
I also tried to boot CyanogenMod 7.1 from SD-card using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572924 , but same result as above.
What can I do to save my Desire Z, other than replacing motherboard ?!
Please help...
The update failed being it was in the process of writing some firmware when you lost power, this tends to mean a partial update and a brick. The pc10img.zip you tried to flash before was not to be in any folder, so not a folder called root, rather no folder at all.
This may also be your salvation, maybe the only way of fixing, more info here

Thanks, I will try it out this afternoon.
To clarify:
In order to downgrade to android 2.2 I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 in which is stated
I - 4a) Manual Downgrade
...
Desire Z: "PC10IMG.zip"
...
Place the zip file in the root of your sdcard.

What does this mean if I am not supposed to have this file on my SD-card ? [edit: Or did my previous post suggest I had a folder called 'root' on my SD-card in which I had the zip?]
Second thing to clarify:
When my telephone has battery AND it is connected to my laptop (charge only I assume) AND my telephone is updating firmware from the SD-card/internal memory of the telephone; why would the telephone lose power / fail installation at the moment my PC tries to shut itself off because of low battery. Or is there something wrong in my assumptions?
Yeah I misunderstood ya, I thought you had a folder named root, if you did don't,
I must have been reading too fast I also thought you were doing an ruu through the computer not an ota update which is what you were doing, if that's the case the power loss on computer shouldn't have mattered unless there is some weird deal that I don't know about when charging through PC.
Can you confirm what is written on bootloader screen, radio, SPL, etc?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Sure, I posted it on the topic you recommended me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37613472 to continue there.
Conclusion:
Format SD card in FAT32 if it wasn't yet, then bootloader can read images again and flash ROMs. Then telephone is unbricked
Thanks.

HTC One X bootloader: 1.72 0000

Dear Developers,
Since few times ago I am searching information regarding with firmware downgrade for HTC One X updated on ****er version 4.2.2 bootloader 1.72. (I ma so sorry for bad words, but really I don't understand who and why created this firmware with so many bugs). Unfortunately there are a lot of information and disinformation regarding with firmware downgrade procedures. Already I tried almost all what I found until now to unlock the bootloader but everything I tried I didn't found solution to turn S-OFF on this model. Somebody say that is impossible to turn S-OFF on HTC One X, somebody else give some information, starting with HTC One X and finish with other model HTC One, so please somebody who know in details all versions, give us correct information what we are able to do on this particular device (HTC One X) with specific firmware already installed.
Any kind of help shall be much appreciated.
Best regards!

Actually:
Unlocking the Bootloader on the HTC phone maybe as simple as you think!
Note:
1. Go here First xda-developers
2. Register as a developer.
3. Go to phone Setting’s
4. For none Developer phones on Andriod
5. Go to Setting’s then About, HTC SDK API Level and start tapping on it to get developer options, continue tapping till it says “Your now a Developer”
6. In Settings go to Power, scroll down to where it says “Fastboot” and un-check it. You will need this to get into your boot menu.
7. BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA. Because “unlocking your BootLoader” WILL WIPE OUT ALL YOU’RE DATA. You will go back to the settings when you initially bought the phone.
8. Power Down
9. After powering down, press Volume Down and while pressing Volume Down, press Power holding both buttons to start the device into Bootloader mode. If you have difficulty, power up normally, go to Settings->Battery and deselect Fast boot ( If you forgot to do this). Power down and try again.
10. Use the Volume buttons to select up or down. Highlight Fastboot and press the Power button.
11. Connect the device to the computer via a usb cable
12. Go back to xda-developers, Login (If you already have not do so)
13. Select the link for unlocking the Bootloader, make sure your phone is plugged into the pc as discussed above.
14. Follow the simple instruction’s; you will get on the right of the screen where you can select one of the HTC this tool will work with only HTC devices on the list. THIS WILL ONLY WORK FOR the phone’s on the list!
15. A POP UP menu will come up after you select the phone on the list it will be a warning.
16. Check off the warnings (AT YOUR OWN RISK) Remember this is heavy duty!
17. The next screen will be the scariest for newbie’s “What to select”
18. Download the following fastboot binary for your OS using the following links:
19. Platform Download Size (bytes) Checksum fastboot binary, Linux
20. (Unzip the file before executing) Fastboot 618 ffd3b02cdf9aa7609462e3957663d238
21. fastboot-binary, OS X
22. (Unzip the file before executing) fastboot-mac
23. Fastboot binary, Windows
24. (Unzip the file before executing) fastboot-win 83753 a90c25141e306b3062dc8e47e14a1005
(Make sure you are logged into XDA-Developers FIRST before linking to it)
25. I have not gotten to the point past this because I unlocked my BootLoader the old fashioned way. But this way seems a great deal easier than searching for your HTC and not finding the right choice. I have already unlocked my cell and rooted, and through trial and error I got the right OS Modification “InsertCoin Here” Hope I placed this in the right Forum.
thank you for the help
