Hello all,
Firstly sorry if this has been asked and answered already.
I rooted using modaco r6 method a couple a months back to go from T-mobile to generic HTC ROM.
I have checked to see if the HTC update for 2.2 is coming but it isn't.
Just wondering if this is because I haven't updated a previous update, since my root to generic ROM I have been getting the option to download a 27MB update (I don't have my phone with me so can't check the exact version).
Do I need to apply all previous updates to get 2.2 or can I just update to 2.2
Hope what I am asking is making sense.
Thanks
you need to be on the latest version in order to download froyo 2.2
Thanks for the reply. Thought that might have been the case. As I'm not able to currently set up wifi connection on phone, is it possible to download all the updates onto my pc and update manually.

Hi, everyone. I just received notification for upgrading my desire to Froyo.
But i have one query.At the time I bought Desire, I had used goldcard to install WWE ROM on my desire. I just want to ask that upgrading over the air to froyo wont create a problem in the device?
Sorry if the question is noobish. I am very new to android..
Thanks
Accepting this OTA update will lock your phone down. You will lose root and will have to jump through hoops to get it back.
If you are running a custom ROM or plan to at some point, ignore the update and turn off the check option.
Thanks fr the reply...
I have not rooted my desire. i just created the goldcard to be able to install the official HTC UK ROM as i had bought myfone frm singapore. Should I still wait?
And what can be the path to be be to get the froyo update?
Thanks
I had a Telstra branded phone which I did the same as you with except I rooted it before then deciding to install the WWE 2.1 Rom. Following this I updated to froyo (manually because of wasn't offering through ota update) and now have a perfectly working official 2.2 desire.
I'm not sure about rooting once on 2.2 but you don't sound like you want to root anyway so I say go for it.

A few weeks a go I rooted and updated my phone to the leaked 2.2 using unrevoked I believe it was called. Since then my apps I have paid for do not show up on the market so I can't redownload them. So I was wondering how to I install the official update to hopefully fix this problem.
Hello everyone,
I installed the 2.2 incredible ROM leaked in July. Now the official 2.2 is out and I assume that it would be wise to update to it. I am sure this is quite obvious for some but I am not sure what the exact process for my update should be. I updated the radio to the 2.x one in order to update to the leaked 2.2 ROM. I had thought that attempting to install this twice bricked a phone so I am unsure as to whether I can safely just load the OTA 2.2 ROM without bricking my phone.
Thanks
flashing the same* radio twice will brick your phone- yep. check Berzerker7's -The ultimate get back to stock- thread for instructions.
Good luck.
If you have a 2.xx radio you should be able to flash any 2.2 Rom using clockwork
Long story short;
Bought a used Incredible to replace my rooted D1.
Ended up being rooted and still on 2.1 update-1.
I unrooted/wiped hoping it would update to 2.2 but no luck.
I don't have a problem rooting this phone but I would like to get the official 2.2 update on the phone first.
I searched around and found a couple links;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737400
Now, according to this first link you either need to be rooted with a 2.x radio or root and flash a 2.x radio. (My device does not have a 2.x radio, for the record I have 1.00.03.04.06)
Here's another link;
http://free-pc-guides.com/news/how-to-manually-install-latest-ota-for-htc-droid-incredible-06428
Does this method appear legit? Does this update.zip provide the neccessary radio?
Usually this would be a no-brainer for me but Im confused why the first link requires you to manually flash a newer radio before FroYo...
I would re-root and flash the OTA deodexed ROM thats rooted. PM me for link. or run the most recent RUU to get to most recent release.
Hi i just checked out of routine waiting for gingerbread lol sad,but anyway htc have released a system update looks like just simple updates etc. my phone just wont allow it for some reason,when i had my upgrade it was on vodafone,but changed the rom to an unbranded rom.so i could get froyo. I had the first update they let out in november but this one just wont have it.my phone displays the red triangle.ive read briefly on here could be the rom i installed casuing this
my question is until gingerbread arrives is it worth faffing around changing roms etc just for this maninentence update.
also if i decided to use one of these customs roms and root etc,is it easy to revert the phone back to the current state if i wanted stock gingerbread
You can get FroYo. There is no 'stock gingerbread'.
Gingerbread is not officially available for Desire, and probably won't be for a few months.
If you root your phone, you can have gingerbread and yes you can go back to stock.
Just got the update as well - is there a changelog somewhere?
What update? I don't get no OTA at this time...
If your talking about the 2.29.405.5 OTA for some reason it can't be applied to debranded phones as it detects the original branding. I had the same problem. with my orange uk desire. The only way to apply it is to run the RUU for this update.

if it is the 2.29.405.5 update there's another thread discussing what may have changed.
There's some suggestion that its a few camera fixes
