OTA update!

Has anyone else received the desire update? It's 27mb. I don't think it is 2.2
Sent from my HTC Desire

I think it was only the update to. 1.21.405.2

I haven't receive any update message, although mine is a T-Mobile (uk) branded... so I guess I need to wait for them... =(
Btw, it's been quite a while since everybody stopped talking about Froyo on Desire... I wonder if it would come before july =/

Froyo update for Asia/Singapore?

Bros,
All I heard so far is the Froyo update will roll out in Europe this weekend. So how about Asia/Singapore area? Is there anyone here from Singapore? and any news about it?
My phone is not lock, will I get the OTA update?
Hope to hear from you guys.

Still undisclosed
I tried contacting HTC regarding this a few days ago, you can read their reply here:
www[dot]jatyap[dot]com/2010/08/froyo-release-date-for-htc-desire-in-asia-still-undisclosed/
Sorry I can't post links yet...

SEA have yet to receive an OTA update (1.21.xxx.x) that Europe received prior to this 2.2 update...not sure if hTC will release it all at once, but i'm afraid that it will take some time before SEA receive the 2.2 OTA...but i do hope i'm wrong...

I think the SEA codes are
1.19.707.7 and 8

Sorry, misread your post.
However, most Desire users currently already run Eclair (Android 2.1 update 1).
I think this was the latest release prior to FroYo.
Are you talking about the build numbers?
1.21.x.x - Europe
1.19.707.x - Asia
is what I read... There are a few other numbers if you care to look them up.

You can do a manual update if you like. I did last night and took me 1.5 hrs. It doesn't require a genius to do it.
There's another thread, I just followed it and now enjoys froyo.

flightposite, where are you located? Is this possible without rooting the phone? Can you give us the location of that thread?

I'm located in Simei.
Go to below and follow the instructions.

I may sound dumb, but I have no idea if It's rooted or not. I got my phone one month ago and have no background whatsoever.
But hey, at least I'm smart enough to follow the instructions and upgrade to froyo. : -)

yup, that that's the number i'm talking about...
IIRC, europe devices receive an update before 2.2 update...this update includes an updated radio which is required for the 2.2 update, but SEA has yet to receive this update, thus making me feel that the 2.2 update for SEA will take some time...
honestly i feel like flashing the 2.2 update using the methods described in xda, if it doesnt arrive anytime soon...

i would suggest you go ahead and do the manual flashing of the ROM and updating if you can stomach the Goldcard creation. Its considerably complicated and enough things can go wrong for the risk to be there.
I believe the official update for asia is at least one month away. In europe even the operator-locked handsets will take a couple of weeks to get their 2.2
I did mine and took less than 2 hours.
It isnt rooted at all. Just using a different original HTC ROM.

any idea if we will lose the warranty or something?

I once asked a personnel from Starhub, he said it will be void.

are we able to flash back to the Asia ROM when froyo is made available for Asia ROM to get back the warranty? I don't think HTC will know about it.

Stan79 : htc will know about it. Happened to a friend who is using the nexus one. He had to send a few e-mails and make 2 trips down to the service centre in harbour front to get it sorted. Oh by the way the service centre sucks big time. I have been there twice and have been trading e-mails with them for the last 2 months to get my phone sorted out. Till now i still have a buggered phone.

latest news from HTC Malaysia's facebook:
Froyo for asia will be coming late Q3. Sept maybe?

I like how HTC is an asian company and the users in asia are always one of the last to get any updates. Happen when i was using the touch pro 2 as well, waited forever for wm6.5 update.
HTC sucks big time when it comes to support

Good New For Us Orange Users

http://twitter.com/conorfromorange/status/20131913006
Woohoooo !

Good
But 4 weeks sounds too much for me, especially if the update brings nothing new, just the Orange apps... I would get rid of them anyway.
I hope Orange will lift the "lock out from the network" ban for the radio update.
that's silly...

In case anyone didn't know, the new Froyo radio does not simlock orange UK handsets.
All you need to do is root your Desire, and flash the new radio (and then the Rom of your choice)
I'm so glad I rooted and left behind all the Orange junk in their Rom...

Well having unlocked my Orange Desire and gone through the OTA, I have to say very impressed. Best ever browsing experience on the train this morning with only one drop and good downloads even on one bar.
Very impressed so far but too early to tell re battery life. Even working in Orange at East Croydon - a first! Now if they could only give me better character editing from the keyboard I'd be a happy man.

[Q] So i have ordered a Desire, help in need.

So i just ordered a desire from Halebop with 2 years contract.
I don't know if the phone will be branded/locked but i think it probably will be.
I have read that some people have had problem with rooting branded phones and now i need to know if it is more complicated/risky than root a unbranded desire.
My Wildfire wasn't branded and i rooted it two days after i got it and within a week i had tryed "all" (there are like 3-4 good) roms available for wildfire.
I never had problem with it, rooting, rom changed etc was realy easy. (only android sdk took some time to learn)
Well to the point already...
Well how much more difficult is it to root a branded desire compared to an non branded wildfire?

Debrand O2 one x?

Went and picked up my one x today and to my disappointment it is o2 branded, couple of apps i cant uninstall and boot and shut down screens but the problem is how long ill have to wait for updates etc... anyone been successful in debranding? Maybe trying to flash the stock europe ruu?
If not I may just root and install ARHD but tbh I just fancied a stock rom and leaving it at that. Thanks.

in settings> apps>all apps you can disable the O2 apps this hides them in the menu....not ideal but it's a start.

Did you manage to debrand ur one x? I got one on t-mobile uk and want to debrand it so i can get updates as htc release them.

Im going to have a go later today or tomorrow with a stock ruu, dunno if it will work, also I've put in a request already with o2 to unlock the phone, every little helps on the way to successfully debranding haha.

Oh also if my basic attempts don't work ill wait until one of the XDA elite come up with a way that is nice and easy, I normally root etc but I'm quite happy with this phone so ill be quite happy with just the latest official update.

Ah you will have a sim free one mate, buymobile always send out sim free in my experience, I only got mine from o2 on another contract as it worked out cheaper than buying sim free lol, 180 for phone and then 10.50 a month, ridiculously cheap to be honest.

Updates are based on your CID and not the rom you are running. Flashing a stock WWE release does not mean you will get WWE OTA's. If you want updates as fast as they come from HTC, just keep watching on XDA and flash them when they are available
As far as debranding goes.. you can disable carrier specific apps via app settings. The boot/down animations are just regular bootanim and can be replaced if you are prepared to root. If not, those you'll have to live with for the time being.

I will try my m8's vodafone sim to check, hope you are right
BTW free phone with 300mins ul text and 750mb data for 24months I thought was OK.
