Can any users of the Desire released by Telus last week report receiving an OTA Froyo update?
Mine appears to be totally unbranded - No Telus apps, no Telus markings on the box - yet no OTA update is in evidence. I'm content to wait for it if it simply hasn't been released, but I was under the impression that Froyo had been released for the Desire. At least, on unbranded handsets.
would like to know the answer for this as well, just picked one up today and can't seem to find any info on it.
yes i want to know as well. i have a telus phone, i bought an unlock code so its unlocked but still see no updates.
The telus phone is pretty close to unbranded, but not completely. If you haven't modified them, check out your browser bookmarks. The first one on my desire and the one in the store was for the (awful) TELUS Web site for mobile devices.
I have no 2.2 update available either.
Noting Yet???????
Can't we just use one of the ROM's like Open Desire?

What carrier are you with? What country are you in? Is your phone unlocked/debranded? Have you rooted it?

czech republic on vodafone the phone is debranded and i havent root it.
and the update is 1.21.405.2
Yes! On Orange UK with unbranded desire stock firmware.
Update available, downloading now. No mention of what it is though.
A few invisible bug fixes and speed improvements...you'd probably not notice if you were really happy with your phone. Little cosmetic things like a counter on the SMS app, now icons on a couple of apps...etc.
Nothing major, but may fix a few niggles.
How do you know if you have this update? I have just checked and am being told that my phone is up to date. Last update I applied was a few weeks ago when I got the handset from Orange UK.

They roll it out, I was told mine was up to date four times and then it came up on the fifth so it's a bit random...it's fast when it does download to I'm guessing they're not pushing it out to EVERY single Desire at the same time.
If you really want it it's in ROM development or linked on my signature, but its the full 150MB-odd RUU file not the small OTA update
My phone is telling me there are no updates available, hopefully it will be soon!
Hi,
Does it make any difference as to what network i buy the desire on? (UK)
For example, i know it will be locked to that network, but is there branding or any other locks for different networks?
Thanks
Orange have the most branding. T-Mobile and Three have little branding, Vodafone have with the latest update that go pulled so none -- O2 none.
However you can de-brand any of the phones to get rid of all of the crap they put on there. I did with my Orange phone as they're the slowest to dish out updates and their software was awful.
excellent cheers i was planning on changing the OS anyway... my Diamond lasted 3 hours after i bought it, before i changed the ROM
Vodafone, until recently, left their Desires alone but a recent OTA update added splash screen/Vodafone 360 app to it (which people were extremely annoyed about!!)
T-Mobile has splash screens (I think)
Orange change loads, add their own apps and generally mess it up so avoid!!
O2 add things too, don't know about 3
Best thing, go to CPW and get it on upgrade and you should get a SIM-free, generic Desire - I did this and always do as I hate branded phones!!
Thanks. Its actually going to be my Dad getting it he's going to see what he can get on his O2 business account i'll be playing with different versions of Android on it anyway...
The main reason I'd say get it SIM-free is speed of updates - operators have other product codes so you'd have to wait on them to OK an update before getting it, regardless of added apps, etc...got mine SIM-free from CPW on upgrade so got the FroYo update as soon as I got back from the US
ok cool.
Its probably going to be running a modified version of Android anyway, so shouldnt need to worry about updates
I was running custom ROMs too but found that stock FroYo does all I want it to so I can live with the crap apps I don't ever use for now
Awesome phone, though

Please I'm using o2 branded HTC desire, do I need to debrand it before I get group 2.2 as I am presently in Lagos and not in the UK at the moment.
I'm sending my phone off to HTC UK to get a GPS rebooting issue fixed.
The phone is currently a 2.1 Eclair T-Mobile handset. Am I being too hopeful that it will come back with a generic 2.2 Froyo ROM? Anyone had one repaired recently?
I went straight to HTC rather than T-Mobile hoping that I can get some vanilla debranded goodness. It does say on the paperwork the they will wipe it and update to the latest ROM.

Doubtful - my Desire was a T-Mobile branded unit, which I'd unlocked. When it was returned to me with a new mainboard (IMEI changed), it was SIM locked again and had a TMo ROM.
Regards,
Dave
B*llocks, mine's network unlocked too. They are saying it's a 3 week turn around too.
Now you are going to get one that is network locked.
Not a big problem, I got it unlocked for less than £10 last time. Was just hoping I might get Froyo.
I sent mine in to HTC three times (don't ask, they messed up two repairs).
Every time I got it back with the latest branded ROM and bootloader. Sorry
Ok cancelled the repair. Couldn't be bothered to wait 3 weeks for them to do it, I'd rather work around it and see if T-Mobile release Froyo this month.
Hi everyone, my friends stock Desire HD is still on Android 2.2. When she looks for updates via her phone it says its up to date when its clearly not. The phone was bought outright and is sim-lock free and unbranded.
Is there anyway to make the phone update to the latest official Desire HD rom without rooting?
No, eventually the HTC servers will pickup on the phone... OTA is unpredictable when it comes to the company, give it a week... Or just call HTC and they could send to the phone. Its worth a try.

Google release the update to HTC, then HTC to your carrier and your carrier to you.
The weakest link being your carrier. If it hasn't happened by now, it probably wont. HTC have released to many new models for the carriers to keep up with.
It may be worthwhile contacting the carrier.

Thanks for the replies. The carrier shouldn't be an issue since the device was bought outright without any branding so the updates should come directly from HTC. The support page on HTC website suggests a soft reset. I think my friend should just call HTC and see what they can do. Thanks!

couldn't agree more, after rooting i have fallen in love with my phone all over again
Can anyone share there firmware version for a stock UK T-mobile HOX. Not only do I not get the 1.28 upgrade (surprise surprise) but I seem to be on a version no-one else seems to mention 1.26.110.5. Can anyone help me confirm this is the standard t-mobile version. Cheers.
it's mentioned a few times in the HOX branch - think it's one of the first impressions threads. I did a thread search on your version and found a few mentions.

Thanks for the reply. I did search but didn't really find the answer to my question. I will try putting it another way.
Does anyone have a STOCK UK T-MOBILE HOX that has a firmware version different to 1.26.110.5 or are we always going to be massively behind even the other carrier branded phones with updates.
Didn't really want to root yet but it is looking more like the only answer.
110 is the standard code for T-mobile UK, so yes, you seem to have the correct T-Mobile UK ROM.
Yes, it'll probably be a while till you get the 1.28 update as t-mobile are especially thorough in their testing before they release a ROM update. However, they're no worse than orange since they joined together.
I can confirm i'm on the same software and on T-mobile UK. I rooted because in the 4 years of being with t-mobile they never release a software update anywhere close to an expected date.
Some folk are still waiting for updates to Froyo on phones apparently.
