Hi there
I just recently signed a contract with orange for the Desire.
Last Night I got rid of there crappy firmware and installed the stock Bravo firmware.
My question is, if an over the air update is released for froyo 2.2 what will happen? Will my phone download the Orange firmware 2.2, Bravo 2.2?
Or will it not work now and i will have to manually update using a downloaded firmware.
Thanks
Dion.
is it really an issue for you ??

Well yeah of course it is. I dont want to download the update over the air if its going to be Orange firmware. But if it uses HTC Generic Firmware then I will download over the air.
What happened to the help in this forum?
if you flashed a generic non branded rom ill guess you get a generic non branded froyo

ignore the noobs here they just have to learn
I am also interested in this aspect. If anyone has more experience with previous phones and OTA please share your experience.
thanks alot for replying. I guess i'll have to wait till froyo is out and someone does an upgrade.
Cheers

Hello,
I am willing to offer someone 20USD if they can tell me how to fix my HTC desire. I was running on a Asia ROM which was upgraded to a Euro one so i could update. Upon updating to 2.2 I have no wifi, or SD and "process system" keeps crashing
The details of the phone are:
Model A8181
OS: 2.2 (from OTA)
Baseband: 32.36.00.28U_406.00.02_2
Kernel: 2.6.29-0cb9f166
Build is 2.09.405.8
Please Help Me.
You need to flash the newest radio, should fix all your problems.
You're using a radio from eclair (2.1).

With the 2.2 ota, im not sure if there is a way to downgrade, as I read one of the devs accidentally upgraded to an OTA release. This is due to the bootloader being updated to one that hasnt been hacked yet.
My 2 cents is hold tight and hope one of the devs figures a way to downgrade, that way you could install a custom 2.2 which doesnt have these issues.
Good luck, sorry i couldnt be of much use :/
EDIT- i completely missed that flakz0r lol, can it still be flashed through recovery if he used a 2.2 OTA update? if so http://android.adamg.co.uk/bravo/radio/32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip
you still have the older 2.6.29 kernel too
flash the radio to the latest and flash one of the 101 roms people are releasing based on the new ota 2.2 as that should update your kernel

Did you download the ota update, or have you got root and installed one of roms on this forum? If it's ota I dont see how your radio can be the one you've stated. If it's a rom from the forum flash the new radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip
I dont know, but it should be possible. Also, the official OTA update comes with the new radio, so i dont understand how he was able to update the rom but not the radio. That is assuming he isnt rooted, of course.

I just fixed something like this today. It's a bit of an involved process though. Send me a pm so we can talk via IM.

I flashed one of the stock roms from here to get it to be a euro one instead of asia.

Yeah, you just need the radio. Put it on your sdcard and flash it like you flashed the rom. Dont touch your phone, let it work, takes a while.
so....who got the 20 dollars?
lol i think it should be falkz0r he was the first to provide a solution...
btw...he managed to go from asian to european version through goldcard and the RUU file. Done that to my previous Hero too.

not me ,I have seen this thread right now

I got him through the entire process using teamviewer and MSN. Still haven't got the $20 though....
And flashing a radio isn't a solution

Wouldn't have worked.
Wasnt expecting to receive anything, XDA is a place to share knowledge and help each other. I expect people to help me too when i'm in trouble.
I see a lot of people talking about having 2.2 on there i9000. Where do you get it? I thought you had to wait for it to come on keis. Can someone explain this? Thank you
Yep the update comes on kies and pretty much everyone has got it now. Other then that u can flash ur device to froyo via odin.

Froyo is rolling out across the networks not al have it yet .
One you wait for your network to supply an official update and then use Samsung Kies to update .
Or you download whatever copy of 2.2 you want use Odin to flash it to your phone .
Negatives with flashing one voids warranty and two very small possibility of bricking your phone . So in your shoes i would wait until your network releases update .

Hi all...
I'm really not an expert in this, so I need help and advice from you guys...
My question is,how can I upgrade htc desire from version 2.2 to newest verion , i thins 2.3 is latest or maybe I can upgrade it to 3.0 ?
Thanx in advance
Regards
No official upgrades available. 3.0 will be never released for the Desire, it's mostly for Tablets.
You can Root your phone, and then flash a custom ROM, if you want the latest version.
Tutorials and ROMs are here.

Heh, great than,if this is official, I can wait till then.. Or maybe I'll try these roms...
Hoewer, thanks to all of you for replying
Is it possible to root it? I don't want to see it unrootable after it's updated.
PS: I ask this question doesnt mean I have received the update
Kinda hard to say when it isn't out yet? It's probably not rootable because it's quite hard to root everything from 1.72 and up already.
Are we not confusing Android and Firmware versions here?

It doesn't change the fact that Android 2.3 update will have a higher firmware version than 1.72 and will probably be unrootable.

True enough.
Thanx for all your replies!
But that makes think whether to update or not when there is a update available.
A lot of apps cannot be used if updated
You can always wait for the devs to make a custom rom from the update.

Hey guys, im looking for a friend of mine how to update a desire from 2.2 to 2.3, he doesnt get an update if he goes to about phone -> check for updates (it says its latest version), so i was wondering if there is a method to flash the update over cable on the phone. to be clear, he would like the stock 2.3 from htc not cyanogenmod or custom roms.
thanks for the help guys
Its not out yet. If your friend has a branded Desire, it will take longer for the update to go through because carriers are like that. If it's unbranded then the update should come through straight away.

thank you very much, i searched for that ont he internet and mostly it said coming may so i was confused... thanks anyways guess he needs one of the custom roms ^ ^

There are plenty of 2.3 custom roms but he will need to root the phone first.
Otherwise you have to wait as above!
Ye, thanks, checked them a bit.
