[hainman]

hi guys.ive a debranded o2 desire and today its lots its reception and everyone i know still has o2 reception,when i called o2 they asked what software i had and when i told then(2.29.405.5)they told me i might need to ugrade the software but as im debranded the last time i tried ota it fooked my fone so im wondering if this is the case or if theres a new ruu rom i cant go with via gold card??my wifi is still going but just cant phone or txt,just says limited service,thanks for any help.

Thats the latest build. There is nothing newer.

Have you tried the sim in another handset or another sim in your handset? I recommend trying both if you can.

I doubt that the software is the issue, but never know.

You can always return it back to O2 branded anyway.

its wentoff line again so something is pooped.the o2 update is a differant rom number and htc had a froyo update rom with differant number released a few weeks ago,

Could be a dodgy SIM card. So rule this out first if you can. Swap sim cards with someone on O2 to see what happens. I would suspect this is more likely.

And yes, o2 is 2.14.207.1 is the latest RUU available. You wont need a goldcard for that, but if it wont let you upgrade (current software version newer) then you may have to downgrade before you can use that one.

i'll see if i can get another simcard,out of interest,ive seen new desire froyo rom 2.11.573 is this anygood to me??

 

[SUroot]

Are you sure that number is correct? Never heard of it.

ye mate.positive,it says desire froyo 2.11.573 and its done by acresso software inc the same as the other ones if downloaded.tried a payas you go sim and the same,no signal it wont even let me call o2 top up

That's the Virgin ROM I'm sure, and no - it's not newer than 2.29.405.5

x.11.xxx.x is lower than x.29.xxx.x

Best thing is to downgrade using this thread:

And then flash the o2 RUU:

If its still doing it, return it for a new one
