ok, ive just flashed my orange one with a stock rom, its working fine wifi and all

question is it came up straight away with a OTA update 1.15.405.4 should i accept it or is that likely to brick my phone?

Would I be right in thinking to get those nice icons on your top bar you need to be rooted?

was doing in on win7 pro 32bit for my error

Got the same error too when I tried it in 32 bit. Just repeated the process a few times then it suddenly worked.

Rooted my Orange Desire last night (22nd) with a stock(ish) ROM and this afternoon an update (1.21.405.2) appeared for me - however when the phone attempts to install it the update fails and the phone reboots - I'd guess you'd have the same problem. I'm probably just going to wait another couple of weeks and get a stock 2.2 ROM instead of fussing with it

PAYS Sparta 1.2 ROM

The best ROM i have found, Keep going back to it.

Has anyone put these screen protectors on ?

Don't want to find out it ruins the screen when i take it off.

Kreeeee · 23 Jun 2010 at 21:18

I have the issue too, as do people who rooted but left it on stock ROM.

The 1.21.405 update .... it was reported (earlier in this thread even) that flashing this on a previous Orange branded phone (i.e. your situation) causes loss of Wifi, as in it won't turn on .... I had this issue with mine in the same situation as you. Supposedly if you have a gold card in the phone then it will flash without the wifi issue but may well lock the phone requiring the purchase of an unlock code to even use your Orange SIM. I have not tried again (after reverting back to the previous release) and am awaiting 2.2 before I do any further fiddling.

The rooting and the "ish" are more likely to have caused that failure.

Used this site

http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/

to root the phone - Orange do seem to be a bit arsey about folks rooting their phones so like I said, probably going to wait for 2.2 now rather than bother with incremental updates

I had this Robbie. I had to stick the stock HTC ROM on first then it seemed to work.
