Hello
I just bought a HTC Inpire4G that had been used before.
The model number is "HTC HD Desire A9191" and it seems that this phone has already been modified since I can't get 3G with 850/1900 bands.
I assume that this phone was flashed with the HTC Desire HD ROM which was designed to support the European bands 900/2100.
Am I correct? what should I do to get 3G on this phone or restore frequencies I need?
Thanks
No, that's the actual hardware version of the Inspire. This won't change with different ROMs. You need to check
"About Phone" -> "Software Information" to see what ROM you have. The latest stock ROM shows up as 1.80.502.3. I think I have the stock radio which is (baseband version): 12.39.60.19P_26.06.04.06_M. I have a custom kernel so I don't know what the stock kernel version would show up as.
Ok, thanks.
My Baseband version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
My Software number: 1.32.405.6
Android version: 2.2
So, my phone does'n have a custom firmware and radio?
I bought this phone because I need 850/1900 3G bands but can not get this.
Thanks

Looks like you've been rooted to the point of downgrading to the Desire HD ROM. Check your bootloader (power on while holding the VOL-DOWN key). See if you have (at the top) S-ON, S-OFF, or ENG S-OFF.

I didn't quite got it, but if you have problems registering with the network, you should try and update for 21B, as some say it solved those issues.

you should update to v21b and then it should be OK. It works for most phones. LG support is reason why I am going to buy another brand.
Hi all
Hello to fellow desire S users and XDA teams... Im just new to the desire S, but have a galaxy s, so Im not new to flashing a Rom, but I know the proces is very different on each phone.
While I can understand the process of flashing the Desire S rom (read up on it basically ), Im not sure how the versions of the RUUs are titled, so what is the latest UK stock ROM for the S.
My phone is supposed to be Virgin UK, but from what I can tell in the settings its actually unlocked: Carrier :- No information".
Many thanks and Respect to the devs

OK... Ive been reading around the forum..
There are quite a few links to different lists..
Im sure ill find it.

I'd prefer you make a "Gold card" prior to flashing an RUU unless you're up to the task of recovering from a soft-brick. Beyond that, it really doesn't matter whichever RUU you flash
NB: I've flashed most RUUs aside the Chinese ones - without a Gold Card. Don't know if I've been having a lucky run but my phone was bought off the open market (unbound to any particular carrier). If that helps.
Edit: And here's a direct link to the ROMs (as hosted by XDA member Football)

Thanks for the reply.. I wasnt sure whether that question was a bit of a "Thats been answered so many times on here" kinda one, so I figured no one would reply.
I did a OTA update last night and my Software Info says:
Android: 235 / Sense ver: 3.0 / Software No: 2.13.351.6 / Kernel: 2.8.35.10...Fri Oct 7 2011 / Baseband: 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M,
it looks like theres a newer 235 out now.
I also tried both Orange UK and O2 UK SIM cards and both recieved a signal, so it looks like it is Virgin software installed but the phone itself is unlocked.
So Ill look at a more uptodate EU / UK firmare.
Many thanks and, I am new to the Desire S, so any other advice would be great
EDIT:
Do I have the latest one... File factory says their EU one (1month, 2 weeks) is 2.10.401.9.. is that correct?.
Which RUU
I have a Vodafone branded HTC desire s. I need a RUU to downgrade HBOOT, but I only see one option for RUU, which is RUU_Saga_Vodafone_UK_1.32.161.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03. I know this RUU is for Vodafone, but I'm scared of using it incase it changes my radio, i understand it shouldn't make it unusable, as its still on Vodafone, but I don't want to break my phone. My current radio version is 3822.10.08.04_M.
Any Vodafone users used this RUU? Success stories please :-D And any helpful comments
If you look at the Software No.the third group of numbers stands for the version:
Example 1.28.401.1, 1.47.401.4, 2.10.401.4, 2.10.401.5, 2.10.401.8
401 - clean European unbranded version
405 – World Wide English generic version
720 - version for India
707 - Asian version
111 - T-Mobile version
206 - O2 UK version
etc....
Going by you latest OTA your software No is 2.13.351.6 which would suggest that 351 stands for the Virgin UK version.
When using RUU’s (ROM Upgrade Utilities) they will only upgrade the Image version from one with an older Software Number to one with a newer Software Number. They will not downgrade (which I guess is why they are called what they are!) .
To downgraded your Hboot you need to look at the developers section where you will find plenty of guidance.

Looks like mine is outdated then. Many Thanks for the info bjlabuk. Ill make up a Gold Card. I also noticed My radio version is the same as EU 401, so thats great.
Is there any other download links apart from File Factory.. 28k/s (5 h) what a nightmare.
Also, Ive noticed my memory is quite full - only 125MB left.. Is that normal? I thought it had 768MB.
On the galaxy S, you can boot into a recovery mode to erase the Cache and OS partition and to remove old OS files, does the Desire S have something like that, Is that why my RAM is filled up, old files?.

Radio
Thank you. I also wish to know if using the RUU listed In my previous post will mess with my radio, or will it not matter as it is still Vodafone?
