I cannot make calls and receive calls. And mobile is rebooting frequently.
If you had flashed "stock" 2.2, you should have the new bootloader, so it sounds to me that you've manually flashed a custom ROM.
Did you flash the new radio?

I got the stock rom from here:http://www.geekword.net/manually-install-froyo-htc-desire/
I copied the file to my sd card and renamed it update.zip and then installed it. That's what I did. I don't know about 'radio'. If i have to install the radio, please inform the procedure. I am very new to these things.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Just do the update again with a goldcard inserted (i guess u are debranded right?). This is a known issue and has beend mentioned many times...

it's written that these radios need a rooted desire for those to work. However, a 2.2 froyo desire cannot be rooted yet, i have read.
What's your suggestion? Even if I can go back to 2.1, it is ok for me.

It is written that these radios need a rooted desire but my desire is not. Besides, a 2.2 desire cannot be rooted yet as well, it is written. What to do?
Even if I can go back to my old 2.1 rom, it's ok for me.
Please advice
I made a gold card and flashed the rom again..............now it's working. Thanks.
Only one problem: The application from market downloads to the phone but during installation the phone restarts and therefore no market application can be installed.
Going to ask a similar question in this thread... I've updated to 2.2 with the Stock HTC rom.
And I've had problems using my wifi connection, 3g and GPS works fine but Wifi simply doesnt seem to be able get running. (cant find any networks and it says it is unable to scan for networks and just turns off after 10 seconds, assuming it was on in the first place).
Would an upgrade of the stock HTC rom with gold card installed fix this issue?
As it is now it claims I have baseband version 5.09.00.20, which as far as I can tell is the newest.

Won't unrevoked's rooting program work?
No, because, if going by the leaked Froyo / Sense roms, these come with a new HBOOT version, which at this time, cannot be rooted by any current methods.
I suggest keeping your phone rooted as it is, and when the official OTA arrives, wait for a dev to have a look at it, removes the HBOOT and roots the ROM.

On that note.
I used to have a Windows Phone (Touch HD) and loved Miri's ROMs as he used all the latest versions of the OS and stock software, with no added extras such as apps/graphics. Is there a ROM developer like that on the Android side?
One thing I dont want is my phone to end up unrootable and be versions behind on the OS because HTC have abandoned us
You can try DeFroST or OpenDesire. They are two of the most popular ROMs around. I was on DeFroST and all was well till 2.5a (didn't like the new notification LED's colors) so I am gonna try OpenDesire now.

unrevoked doesn't root a ROM (does it?), it just helps you apply an already rooted ROM.
Someone will need to root the ROM first.
Hello,
I am going to trade my phone tonight with someone who has the X and wants the Inc (I <3 Craigslist) Any ways, I am wanting to restore the phone to a stock condition for the new owner. Anyone have some info on how to do this.
I am currently using Koush's Test 8 rom and I believe I flashed the new radio in HBOOT but am not 100% I did it properly in case that makes a difference.
I still have the stock build I can restore through recovery and then do > Privacy settings > Factory Data reset. Would that be all I need to do?
Thanks

You can't upgrade the radio or recovery by yourself before you rooting you device. So , If you like the offical ROM so much, what you need to do is to find the lasted RUU.

You don't need to root your device. RUU is the offical ROM update utility.

Do you know if I will lose any data when I upgrade? I am concerned about Emails, SMS Messages, contact list and installed apps mostly.
Go to info about about your phone (in options) and post your exact Version-Number.
you can't flash this RUU just like that. You phone is branded, I suppose, so when you try to flash that RUU you'll get a cid-error. You can only flash T-Mobile ROMs and if you aren't offered an update when trying via the ota channel, there probably is no newer T-Mobile-Rom.
You can either wait for T-Mobile to release a newer RUU or unbrand it. Unbranding means you need to create a "goldcard" (use forum-search how to do this) and with this goldcard pluged in, you can flash the WWE-RUU that Keeray posted earlier.

I think so, as long as your Goldcard is installed. The Softwarenumber must be x.xx.405.x

I use Titanium Backup Pro and SMS Backup and both served my needs well.

May I ask, do you have a Gmail account? Have you ever logged in through your Gmail App? If your answers are yes, you don't need to concern about your gmails and contact list, they will be restore from the Gmail's server.
SMS must be lost if you don't do any backups.
Why don't you backup all your dates before your upgrade? You can use the offical software to backup.

According to the Baseband Version of your phone, you may try this

If your hboot is not 2.00.0029, you need to update it. Unlock bootloader is only working for the hboot with that version number.

Hi guys,
I´ve got a stock Desire with Android 2.2.2. (OTA update some two years ago). Some days ago I noticed my camera was not working nor did the flashlight app. After turning off and on the device a couple of times the flashlight started working again but not the camera. Trying to fix what I thought might be a software problem I went into Hboot menu and into recovery and selected reboot. Nothing seemed to have changed until i noticed my battery was only lasting for 4 or 5 hours when it used to last at least 1,5 days. Also, I just noticed my 3G mobile network connection is not working either.
How may I correct this? I've already tried a factory reset but without success. I was just looking at an youtube video from a XDA member about flashing RUU's and thought that it might do it. Is there a difference between flashing a RUU and a factory reset? I'm not very confortable doing it as I've never rooted or flashed any device, but I'm willing to take the chance...
Thanks for your support...
Flashing a ruu is basically reinstalling the stock firmware. Factory resetting is just wiping the data on the phone.
If you want to flash a ruu, check my sig. Download the 2.3 ruu. Don't change the zip name. Take the zip and put it on the root of your sd-card, and boot in hboot. Then select "yes" and wait.
This will upgrade your firmware to Android 2.3.3, which is faster than froyo, but it will wipe all your internal data.
merante ridicule
Thank you for your reply.
Now it´s clearer to me. Factory reset doesn't correct any system issues.
I already found the RUU i currently have on my phone, but maybe I could upgrade to 2.3. Does the RUU in your sig work for my Desire?
My data are:
Andriod version: 2.2.2.
Baseband: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel: 2.6.32.15-gfa401c
Software number: 2.29.405.14
Just a small update concerning the battery issue: it seems to be the battery itself which is the problem. I installed a new one last night and now battery behaviour is back to normal. I will try the old one again though, in order to be sure it's gone.
The ruu in my sig works for your desire. It actually works for almost every Bravo on the market.
Thank you once again.
I just managed to correct my 3G problem also. I didn't restore the network definitions after the factory reset (didn't know I had to or how it is done ), but after a quick call to tech support it is fixed.
Now I will probably give the RUU update a try and also root and s-off (must resaerch a little more - XDA forum has tones of good info :good...

Hi, some developments and more help needed
Followed the guides above and now my Desire is rooted, s-offed using revolutionary and 4ext recovery is installed and I've partitioned my new 32 GB sdcard with 2GB ext4. Sadly, I've not updated to android 2.3.3 with the PB99IMG RUU, so I'm still with the 2.2.2.
But, even after sd partition, my available internal memory has not increased. What do I have to do to install all new apps on the sd?
If I update now for 2.3.3. using PB99IMG will I lose root and s-off? If I have to flash a new rom, which do you suggest? I'm used to the stock htc sense and don't really want to upgrade unless I have to.
I would really appreciate any suggestions...
Tks.
Don't use the RUU. You will lose root and s-off. Just install a custom rom, and your storage will increase.
