I didn't take the mickey out of your phone last weekOriginally posted by Bunk View PostI know, I know, but she deserves it for the abuse she heaps on my phone every week at the CUK drinks.
No updates available, it seems.Originally posted by Cliphead View PostFinally got the unlock code, rooted and flashed with a custom Froyo ROM. That got rid of the bundled Orange crap.
The first ROM I used wasn't stable and caused random reboots, the latest is perfect. I would suggest that if you're getting the reboot issue after any sort of update then it's a software problem which an update / bugfix will cure.

I did much the same, rooted, loaded a custom pre 2.1 rom then let it download and flash incremental update roms to 2.2.Originally posted by Cliphead View PostFinally got the unlock code, rooted and flashed with a custom Froyo ROM. That got rid of the bundled Orange crap.

No hassle and I got rid of the irritating Orange branding.

No problems with my Desire 2.2 phone. Surfing the forum appears ok from the phone. I don't know if you can do a manual reflash at all, but it may be a faulty phone.Originally posted by norrahe View PostUnlocked, got my technical person (aka Mr N) to look at it I've done a factory reboot, but trying to surf cuk on it seems to kill it every time.

I haven't upgraded yet but waiting for an unlock code to arrive then manually upgrade to Froyo. Hopefully this will happen in the next couple of hours.
