I updated early to 2.2 the .3 version can i manually reflash my phone to the older 1.47 version and then do the ota update from there. I know I will probably lose info but thats ok since i hard reset yesterday anyway.
No currently there is no way to "downgrade" versions on a non rooted phone. HTC does this so that yuo cant jsut downgrade and reexploit bugs.
Saddly your are stuck until HTC releases the upgrade patcht hey talked about i believe.

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
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
Hi I would like to know if there would be a problem if I flash the official rue of an Asian desire z with a european version or vice versa?
I bought my phone second hand and I decided to flash the 1.34.707.1 version into my originally 1.72 desire z. Now my phone cannot find updates. It keeps telling me that there is no update even if check manually.
I know that I can flash a higher version by downloading a higher rue version but what I wanted to find out if I can no longer receive ota updates because of what I did.
Since when I was in 1.72 my phone did not notify me of the 1.82 update too...
I don't know what's wrong.. Please help. Thank you.
I think if you are SuperCID and S-Off, it would work. Otherwise, it won't let you flash the ROM from another region.
Also, if you flash an official ROM, you will lose root, and you can't get it back on any ROM version higher than 1.34. For this reason, if you downgraded to 1.34 for purposes of rooting, you don't want the OTA updates, anyway.
If you're rooted and S-Off, and you want a more updated ROM version, just flash the Virtuous custom ROM. Its mostly stock 1.85, but rooted, and with a few cool added features and some optimizations.
Hi, the thing is I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to rooting. I read the posts here specifically in the wii section and I don't think I have the skills to pull it off and risk bricking my phone.
I think my phone is not rooted or it was before but not anymore, since as mentioned I flashed an official ruu.
So basically, I should still be able to receive OTA's from HTC right? I was wondering why my phone keeps telling me there's no update when the software number is 1.34 stock and not rooted. Shouldn't it notify me that there's an update at least regardless of whether I want to or not?
If you are not rooted, why did you downgrade to 1.34?
I also don't understand why you want to flash the RUU from a different region. If you aren't SuperCID and S-Off it won't work. Why not just flash the latest official RUU for your phone versions/region if you want to be updated and don't care about root?
I'm not sure why your OTA's don't work. I'm still on 1.34 (well, back to it), and I still get notifications to update.

I bought the phone from a friend of mine. I noticed that it had eng hboot and had s-off.
I have zero knowledge about rooting. When the gingerbread test rom for the desire z came out, I flashed the pc10img.zip via the bootloader, however since it was very buggy and laggy, I decided to flash stock desire z rom.
Having no knowledge about rooting I read some of the threads in this forum and learned that flashing an official rom i.e. the RUU would be the easiest way to return back to stock.
It worked, I am using stock rom. I experimented and found out that I can flash any of the RUU, so I chose any of the WWE release. I decided to flash an older firmware version specifically, the 1.34.707.1.
Now the problem is my phone doesn't prompt me with an update, even after checking in about phone > check for update.
I still have s-off but eng hboot is gone. To clarify I was not the one who rooted the phone, so I have no idea what to do.
Is it possible that the previous owner tweaked something in the phone that would absolutely prevent it from receiving OTA?
I am just worried since I have a feeling that the gingerbread OTA will be released in a few weeks since the update for the Desire HD is already out.
Please help and thank you again. I extremely as a NOOB!

I wouldn't worry about getting the official Gingerbread ROM OTA. It will probably be posted here or at shipped-roms.com long before you would get it OTA.
Recently i rooted my evo with the unrvoked 3 forever, i was wondering if id be able to get the OTA offical update when it comes out and also when i do get gingerbread will it automatically unroot my phone?
Sent from my HTC Evo
It will unroot your phone and yes you will get OTA updates BUT
YOu will still have S-off to my understanding.
I would under no circumstances take a ota update if your rooted. Just wait a day or so and flash a rooted version. You could run into issues otherwise.
Don't Do It
I agree. Don't ever do an OTA update once rooted or you will have to do it all over again. Like previously stated, just wait a day or two and you can get a rooted version of the OTA. Also, go flash the ROM now. The devs have plenty of GB Sense 1.0 & 2.1 ROMS for the EVO. Why wait for a official OTA?
I guess i just want the offical release lol, when i get home ill try flashing gingerbread

as i have a problem to ota update to 2.2.5 from 2.2.3 i think i have to downgrade to froyo and then to try update to 2.2.5.when i bought the phone i got message for some small ota update then after couple of days i got message for 2.2.5 update but my phone says that i cannot update because i have unofficial soft inside?!the phone is almost new,never been rooted on so
I dont think you can downgrade and I dont think this is an option you want to pursue.
Maybe you can unlock the phone and wipe it and flash an official 2.3.5 RUU.
However you dont sound like you are too interested in learning too much due to your lack of research in xda (not a bad thing, some people just arent) so if the phone is almost new you could perhaps take it back and get the shop to sort it out.

Froyo? 2.2.3?
You mean 2.3.5 and 2.3.3

you need to be s-off for it to work, from what I tried.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
You may be right about s-off, i think its all gonna depend on versions of radio and hboot etc included in the ruu. Maybe the OP can extract the system image from the ruu and flash just that but its all gonna need some research by the OP I think.
