Root Non-UK desire?

Hello all,

I bought my desire about 4 month ago from ebay, it was a private seller. Not had and I am not having any problems with it, it works fine.

I was just wondering if i have a non-uk desire as the only locale options i have are
Nederlands (nederland)
Nederland (luxemburg)
English (Netherlands)
English (Luxembourg)
Francais (pays-bas)
Francais (luxembourg)
Deutsch (Niederlande)
Deutsch (luxemburg)

If it is indeed a non-uk desire is it possible to load a stock UK desire rom to the phone?

Cheers

Andy

does it matter as long as it does english? overly patriotic?


EDIT: just seen the english options. dont know what affect those will have tbh

go to settings and about. tell us the entire list in the software versions
 
Yes the box was in English and should be a massive give away. But why is there no 'English (English)' option? Why all the 'Netherlands' and 'Luxembourg'.

Benelux is the combined region of Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. Looks like your phone was originally intended to be sold in this region.

Since you already have English language, there is no need to change the ROM. Changing locale however may fix certain things like number/date/measurement formats etc.
 
Thanks for the replies, i will use morelocale 2. Can i remove the app after i have updated my locale?

Other than the lack of locale's will this be the same as a device that is bought and designed to be sold in the uk?

Sorry for all the questions, i was a nokia man for bout 13 years and I had an understanding of they were.
 
used morelocale2 and set it to 'english (unitedkingdom)' removed the app and rebooted phone to ensure it would remain and it did, brilliant! :)

Other than the lack of locale's which is now sorted will this be the same as a device that is bought and designed to be sold in the uk? ie had english (unitedkingdon) as standard?
 
The phone should "behave" as a UK phone, but the ROM software will stay the same until further update.
 
so a HTC desire sold in Poland and a HTC desire sold in the UK will have the same software versions?
 
Thanks for the info guys.

Just waiting for HTC to release the gingerbread OTA :)
