Can you put 2.2 Froyo on the Desire?

When 2.2 Froyo is released it will presumably go to the N1 first, then we'll have to wait for HTC and for carriers to get round to updating the Desire.
But with rooting is it possible to just put 2.2 straight on a Desire from the Nexus One?
As in, have the exact same 2.2 ROM as the N1. No modifications, nothing, just stock Froyo running on the Desire?

It will propbably take some tweaking but yes it will be possible.

with a rooted phone and after htc release the kernel source it will be possible
i didn't think htc release a 2.2 update soon :|

maby the dont release the kernel before they have made a 2.2 upgrade?

As usual we won't get a upgrade fron Htc for several months, but this community will react quickly as usual when the new kernel is released ;-)

Root methods

Hi there, with the Desire about to launch on Telus in Canada, two questions:
1) If you've already gotten the 2.2 update - does the UnrEVOked root method still work?
2) Has the "exploid" root method been applied to the Desire as well (as it has with Nexus One, Droid X, and many many other phones)? If so is it working on the 2.2 update?

No, nothing works yet.

Ok. And how about if the Telus Desire comes with a rootable 2.1... is there a way to upgrade to a pre-rooted Desire 2.2 that is otherwise identical to HTC's version of 2.2?

if your desire comes with a hboot of 0.75 or 0.80 you can root, if it comes with froyo and the new hboot 0.92 it cant be rooted yet obviously if you can root it, you will have no trouble upgrading to one of the modded official froyo roms that are pre rooted and have the new hboot removed

hi guys
since i updated my desire i cannot access root does any one have solution
for this problam.thxx

Good to know!
Is there any sense as to whether a Desire ROM from one region will work on a phone from another that comes with different 3G frequencies? I know this causes problems with the Milestone, but it isn't an issue with the Nexus One.

A HowardForums member reports that the Telus Desire comes with:
kernel:
2.6.29-e5576724
Build Number:
1.29.661.1
2.1Update1
No root reports yet, but would any problems be anticipated based on this info?

Difference between Official Froyo and Roms???

Hello,
i've got a question. i'm a new htc desire user for 2 weeks now. Saturday i updated my phone to froyo 2.2
But what is the difference between custom roms build on froyo and the original froyo update besides rooting???
i've got an unbranded phone in belgium.

put simply, the modded ones have way more functions than the official ones, contain newer kernels, are often faster and may also look quite a bit different regarding the user interface.
edit: just have a look at the Desire Development Section and check out the with [ROM] prefixed threads, you'll often see a list of features.

htc has stop the OTA for 2.2.1 with build 1.72 because of several issue.
so your desire HD will stuck on that build, until there is a release version of it.
But there are also some other user get the new build 1.83 update recently, but only a few (maybe from selected region only).
but, it you really want the 2.2.1 (or gingerbread 2.3) , you can flash custom rom available here (at Development thread) e.g: Android Revolution HD, LeeDroid or CM7, better than stock rom.

[Q] OTA Question

Hey guys,
I obtained the phone through vodafone Australia and im running a custom rom (LeeDroid 4.0). Its based on build 1.28. My question is do I still have to obtain the Vodafone 1.28 OTA or does the LeeDroid 4.0 Rom pretty much include it??
cheers,

roms will eventually be updated, read the changelog
