[Q] Rebranding UK O2 Desire for Warranty Purposes

---

My phone has just developed the annoying loudspeaker issue which is apparently associated with short circuit of pins 4 and 5 of the micro usb port. It looks like I will have to try and return it under warranty.

My phone is S-OFF (Alpharev) and rooted (unrEVOked3), and fully debranded.

I'm guessing I will need to return it to (UK) O2 stock to have any hope of a warranty repair. I need a little advice.

Can anyone tell me what bootloader I should have (currently HBOOT 0.93)? Which would be the correct O2 ROM for an LCD Desire (a link would be greatly appreciated)? Will S-OFF become S-ON when I reflash with stock or do I need to do something else to reverse it?

Failing all this... how easy is it to replace the port? I have found the part micro usb port I need and it's very cheap. I have to replace the earpiece speaker anyway (as it's buzzing) so I'm happy to dismantle the phone to do this. Is replacing the port a soldering task or is it just a push connector?

To find out hboot, boot into fastboot/bootloader. Hboot version is written there. In case you do not have one of the two new r2 hboots, so should not be any problem in flashing o2 ruu. You will get an unrooted phone with o2 branding and s-on.

Thanks. My current HBOOT is 0.93, what I need to know is what it should be (downgraded to) for it to be UK O2 stock. I think it was 0.89 but I'm really not sure.

i have not changed the hboot on my o2 desire and i have
HBOOT-0.93.0001

Much appreciated.
