This is not for Desire.

Seeing as you happen to be a senior member, is there any way you can influence the creation of a "Desire V / T328W / HTC Wind" forum on xda-developers? Any help will be GREATLY appreciated! There are at least five threads (incorrectly placed) in various sections of xda and it'd be nice if we got our own section to help people stop posting in the wrong place :)

Agree that there should be a separate section in the forum for HTC Desire V (T328w) to reduce the confusion. This featured dual SIM smartphone is gaining attention in China & Taiwan markets and part of Europe through resell activities as well.

The obviously drawback of the China version is that shipped without Google Services like Play Store. Taiwan version are owners looking forward find. By refer the content from Chinese character forum, more owner can enjoy the test of alternative ROM available. With past experience with experts in xda-developers forum, there must be more ROM optimization and development with Desire V.

I purchased mine, rooted, installed all the google framework & services, de-bloated, and changed the the language all thanks to threads I found through xda-dev. It's easier to use than my Droid Incredible (which is still very current, also thanks to xda-dev) and I think it's time a Dev / Mod set up a separate section for it.

(I'll be using it in Turkey as a work/personal phone so I only have to carry one device.)

I already tried to flash this RUU update:

I bought my phone in China, because it does not come with google play and some of the apps (Gmail, Line, etc..) won't install on the phone, I am really looking forward to flash my phone.
My phone was S-off and re-locked (I unlocked it and re-locked it);
and you actually need to have the phone locked in order to flash this RUU, however, I was unable to flash it due to CID not matching warning.

Highly recommend a separate forum for Desire V, as it's gaining popularity, it's quite confusing trying to find posts related to Desire V.

this phone is gathering a lot of momentum at the moment. very nice little device, great screen and dual sim works like a charm.

European version is due to be out next month too.

Can someone help make a zip of this ROM so taht it can be flashed via custom recovery? this ROM as it cant be flashed on t328w that's been distributed out of mainland China.

Can someone verify if it can install on China Unicom HTC Desire V T328w?

I ask this question and not test by myself cause I dont have a backup of my current rom and now I am getting stuck with the 1.56.1402 release (which is already got error and I cannot flash back the version 1.34.xxx that leaks in the forum)

no it doesn't look like it can be flashed. I think the problem is CID doesnt match. Until someone rip the actual ROM from this zip and repackage it as a flashable ROM.

I havent updated my t328w as I heard the updated rom has a lot of problem, and i m a bit lazy to manually add google app all over again.

Please do share.

My t328w is rooted and I have manually added Google Apps and removed all the bloatware.

But a stock Taiwan version should work much better with the default Google Apps integration.

Can u repackage the ROM to be flashable with custom recovery?

damm...
I have solution how to flash european firmware, but can not post links of start new threads

I figured out how to flash the Taiwanese ROM. The guys on taiwanese forum mobile01 has found the method. it involves using a pseudo RUU type of flashing for the mainland domestic ROM, and replacing the SYSTEM and BOOT img with taiwanese ROM and repeat the pseudo flashing process.

Do you have the european firmware? and do u have an alternative and perhaps easier way of flashing? PM me the link if you dont mind.

    By the way, this will not flash radio cause you have S-OFF, and do not forget to make backup if you have something important on your phone, before doing something, cause all user data will be cleared.
