Have a look at the second post in the sticky section of the ROM development forum. Be aware that afaik the official rom will upgrade your hboot which will not allow you root access. I don't know where but there is an official update with the hboot removed somewhere. If you can live without sense I recommend adamg opendesire rom.

Yes, if you do not want to root, you will need to go down the Goldcard method and then flash the HTC Stock Rom
Otherwise, go down the root option (you will still need a Goldcard) and flash any custom rom.
Just do a search for Goldcard in these forums and you will see how to do it, then just find the stock RUU and run it.
Yes.
You can root your Desire and then there are loads of ROMS that you can pick from to put on your phone.
I tried to post a little guide for you but I couldn't post links to other websites so ust google create Goldcard, then go to Modaco and download the generic Desire rom and install
Ok guys thanks for the advise I will trying today creating gold card.
Do I need backup o2 software to memory card?

You can't. If you need to go back to original software you can unroot the device. Details can be found on modaco.
Hi All,
Please bear with me - I'm a late Desire joiner.
I've been reading the Froyo update threads but haven't found an answer.
Phone is UAE version, Arabic and English, and has ROM v 2.1xx on it.
The updater says there is no update.
How can I download the stock HTC 2.2 ROM, please?
All help much appreciated.
OK - I've been to the HTC website and 2.2 is not available for my phone - I guess that this is because they haven't got around to the Arabic yet!
So, I'd like to install a UK English version of 2.2 - where can I get it?
Check you screen
Hi,
Im a fellow newbie HTC Desire user. I just rooted my Desire now running on custom ROM. I think you need to check first if you have SLCD or AMOLED screen. Most RUUs are not compatible with SLCD Desire phone.
You can re-direct to Informative Threads, Links & Info - READ THIS FIRST ! thread and refer to [ROM] Official HTC Desire RUU ROMS and OTA Update URLs.
Hope this helps.
Many thanks.
I've installed roms before on my WinMo phones quite happily.
But, this time I'd like to stay with the stock rom from HTC, so I just want to upgrade to 2.2 for the improved functionality ........ I think I need to fool HTC into thinking that the phone is in the UK and it will upgrade OTA?
Hmmm ..... whwre to download the official HTC Froyo?
all RUUs in the link are authenticated by HTC = not custom ROM. Just download the RUU for your region and then upgrade to 2.2 via OTA. Just confirm first that you have AMOLED screen. As i said, most RUUs are not compatible with SLCD screens.
Right, thanks, I'm beginning to understand.
How can I tell if my phone has the amoled screen?
Thanks for your patience!
np
Just a heads up, it might take a while installing ROM on your Desire (30 minutes or so) so dont panic if you see the HTC logo with white background for a while.
OK, I'm getting closer to doing it - maybe at the weekend.
How do I know which type of screen it has?
Hi,
You can follow the procedure in one of the threads here. Also, normally, most phones sold after Aug 2010 are all SLCD screens.
However, I advise you to just sent an email to HTC Customer Service to be 100% sure (this is what i did).
I do believe that if you are upgrading to Froyo then screen type doesn't matter because it has both sets of drivers anyway. Also I think there is a list of official download find in the developers section of this site.;0-)

Hi Guys,
I have a European (Dutch) HTC Desire Z and I want to get back to stock rom en radio etc. I have my S-OFF my device with "Gfree". Is it safe for me to go back to a stock rom and radio? And does someone know which rom and radio I must use. Hope someone can help, it's NOT the TMOUS version which I own.
The reason why I want to go back to stock is my touch screen is not responding at some points and I need to send it to HTC. Hope someone can help me. Thnx
not sure about dutch version but theres a few guides to go back stock in the dev section. the guides are easy to follow.

also try to recalibrate your screen if u havnt already...it might help

Guys, thx for the advice.
But with the HTC desire Z screen type you cant do a screen calibration right? If so, could you point me the way how to do this?
The guides on the internet are all for the G2 of T-mobile, so also the rom's are for T-mobile.
Hoping to see more reactions
