Update to Froyo - Desire General

Hi,
I have seen several instructions on how to update the HTC Nexus one... Is there any way to use this update on the HTC Desire? Is there any guide on how to Update the Desire to Froyo?
Cheers!

Where have seen these instructions?

Froyo is not available for Desire yet, officially or unofficially. Some Devs are working on porting Froyo to Desire here.
For official upgrade, we'll have to wait weeks/months before HTC lauching it.

June 24th has been rumoured for the desire update

Take a look in the dev forums. It's looking like we are very close to getting Froyo. I have to say the work those dev's do is unreal

Telus Desire 2.2 update coming in October

Hello,
Canadians or people who bought the telus desire, should be happy that telus is going to release 2.2 update in the month of October. But, sadly no official date has been given. I just wanted to share this with those who didn't root yet, like me lol...
Here's the link:

Great news! I've already rooted and gone to CM6 in frustration waiting for 2.2, but this will be a great boost for Android in Canada. I think this will be the first 2.2 device we get here.
Uhh... and in other news, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IF THERE'S ANYONE OUT THERE WITH A NON-ROOTED TELUS 2.1 DESIRE, could you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a RUU of it?
Uh, thanks. *picks self up off floor*

[Q] Download Froyo 2.2

Hi All,
Please bear with me - I'm a late Desire joiner.
I've been reading the Froyo update threads but haven't found an answer.
Phone is UAE version, Arabic and English, and has ROM v 2.1xx on it.
The updater says there is no update.
How can I download the stock HTC 2.2 ROM, please?
All help much appreciated.
OK - I've been to the HTC website and 2.2 is not available for my phone - I guess that this is because they haven't got around to the Arabic yet!
So, I'd like to install a UK English version of 2.2 - where can I get it?
Check you screen
Hi,
Im a fellow newbie HTC Desire user. I just rooted my Desire now running on custom ROM. I think you need to check first if you have SLCD or AMOLED screen. Most RUUs are not compatible with SLCD Desire phone.
You can re-direct to Informative Threads, Links & Info - READ THIS FIRST ! thread and refer to [ROM] Official HTC Desire RUU ROMS and OTA Update URLs.
Hope this helps.
Many thanks.
I've installed roms before on my WinMo phones quite happily.
But, this time I'd like to stay with the stock rom from HTC, so I just want to upgrade to 2.2 for the improved functionality ........ I think I need to fool HTC into thinking that the phone is in the UK and it will upgrade OTA?
Hmmm ..... whwre to download the official HTC Froyo?
all RUUs in the link are authenticated by HTC = not custom ROM. Just download the RUU for your region and then upgrade to 2.2 via OTA. Just confirm first that you have AMOLED screen. As i said, most RUUs are not compatible with SLCD screens.
Right, thanks, I'm beginning to understand.
How can I tell if my phone has the amoled screen?
Thanks for your patience!
np
Just a heads up, it might take a while installing ROM on your Desire (30 minutes or so) so dont panic if you see the HTC logo with white background for a while.
OK, I'm getting closer to doing it - maybe at the weekend.
How do I know which type of screen it has?
Hi,
You can follow the procedure in one of the threads here. Also, normally, most phones sold after Aug 2010 are all SLCD screens.
However, I advise you to just sent an email to HTC Customer Service to be 100% sure (this is what i did).
I do believe that if you are upgrading to Froyo then screen type doesn't matter because it has both sets of drivers anyway. Also I think there is a list of official download find in the developers section of this site.;0-)

Desire stuck with 2.1 Helppp

i have purchased htc desire from telus and unlocked it. no matter how many times i do ota update i dont get the 2.2? while here every1 in desire forum have 2.2? i just came from xperia x10 so i dont know much about htc phones. how do i get 2.2? please help.
wow u mean htc people no help
Anyone?????????????????????
If your phone is branded as in have stuff from TELUS on it, they would have to release a special update first. Only unbranded handsets get updates from HTC. Try searching for "unbrand"
i dont see any telus stuff
You need to root and install a debranded 2.2 firmware yourself

What he said Openfroyo is working pretty good for me (unless there is a faster one out there)
lol i dont even know what they r lol . im new to desire . how do i root n debrand n get froyo and is open desire relly the best rom for desire?
If you look around the forum there are many guides for either unbranding your phone or rooting it.
The Telus Desire will have their own official Froyo version this month (October).
It's on their site but I can't post the outside link...

Read some (sticky) topics in development. Official froyo has no root. For opendesire you need root. OpenDesire has no Sense UI. There are many roms, and all are the best for some ppl. Read and search. SEARCH before posting.

If you need an up-to-date list of Desire HD custom roms down the line - there's one here.
You can also find some links and help in the Desire HD section too.
