Sorry for the long post guys, but just want to let you know all the facts so that you can advice me. I bought my HTC Desire from Dubai recently. The phone is new, never rooted, unbranded. The details are as follows

Andriod version 2.2
Baseband version 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel version 2.6.32.15-gd96fc0 htc-kernel at and18-2 # 1
Build number 2.32.415.3 cl283905 release-keys
Software number 2.32.415.3
Browser webkit 3.1

Only when I started using it, I got to know it’s the Arabic version and there is a software called Al-Moazin which sends out a prayer call at various times of the day. (Very helpful to Muslims I’m sure, but I’m not a Muslim, wears down the bat and suddenly goes off during meetings ). Tried everything (forced stop – it auto restarts, software uninstallers, startup blockers etc) but could not uninstall it.

Took it to the store I bought it from, they have no clue, recommended a factory reset, which did not work.

Reading up on all the help you guys had given others in this forum, got to know that I need to get a stock RUU (WWE) since this software is bundled in the ROM. Downloaded RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed, (I prefer to go Stock since I’m still new to this and not yet brave enough for custom ROMs) created a goldcard (to be safe) got as far as the Bootloader version Error (140). Based on your advice, I got to know that this due to my existing ROM build being 2.32 and I’m trying to flash 2.29 (lower version, could not find anything higher than that) hence wont work…

My question is, is there any other option there for me to get a stock RUU (WWE) froyo, or do it need to wait until Gingerbread gets released and you guys post a stock RUU for that… or is there a safe way to get the source of this problem Al-Moazin uninstalled?
Thanks a lot for your help people, all the old posts helped a bunch.

you can use adb commands to remove applications from roms, but, according to the tut, you need to be rooted.

all you will need to find out is tha apps name - might be as simple as Al-Moazin.apk. and you can simply delete that app without having to worry about replacing the entire rom.

another option for you to consider anyway.
