Default Does 1.21 exist?

Hi All

My desire's current software version is 1.15.405.4 but I've read that HTC released a 1.21 version earlier this year. However, when I tell the phone to check for updates it always says it's up to date and a newer version is not available.

Is this right? Thanks for your time in advance.

Greg

What carrier are you on? I know for certain Orange UK haven't released it due to them not adding their crapware branding yet.

I'm on T-mo, I know they released then pulled the 1.21 update and I missed it. Is there any other way of getting it other than de-branding?

Just use the ruu file at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 If you want the t-mobile version use RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.0 6.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe

The phone has a virgin logo on startup but it seems to be the stock ROM. The sim card is on t mobile. Does that mean I need the t mobile Rom I guess or the virgin one?

Were these any significant updates in the 1.21 release?

Many thanks.

Don't use the virgin one, or you wont be able to root your phone if you want. I would install RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe (like EddyOS suggested) instead.

Awesome. Thanks guys. Anyone know exactly what updates are in 1.21? Just wondering if it's worth waiting for 2.2 instead.

Also do I NEED to root it to install the RUU ROM?

Thanks guys. Greg

No, but if your phone is branded, you need gold card
