I just rooted s-on for now and still running stock 2.1. Figure I'll wait for the official 2.2 release and maybe Skyraider 3.0 before flashing. I guess I can still upgrade to radio 2.05 at this point. Is it a good idea? Is it much better?
Thanks....mm
Hey,
I was in a similar boat and decided to go for it for the 720p since I'm going to a concert next week that I wanted to capture footage of.
Anyway I ran into a big problem in that any "copy-protected" applications (even free ones) no longer were available in the market after I upgraded the radio to 2.05. I tried everything but there was no way to download some apps (the one I really wanted was a free guitar tab app called Tabular).
Pissed me off but I ended up deciding to go all the way and followed a Youtube video today to upgrade to Froyo. Now everything seems to be working ok.
So I'd advise not to just because you may run into problems w/ the market.

Thanks but I intend to flash a custom 2.2 rom also so I shouldn't have that problem (I guess).

Has anyone tried this 02 Froyo RUU file ?
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe
Full details are here
http://androidforums.com/htc-desire/148932-froyo-ruu-update-available.html
Just wondering if anyone has tried it.. Tempted, but would like to know it works before I give it a go !!
No one tried this ?
Does anyone have any more details of this yet?
I'm quite interested in it, as I've held off rooting my desire until something like this is available so that I can get it back to stock for warranty reasons if necessary.
If someone does try it, could you let us know the HBOOT version etc?
Looks like someone used it on the other forum.. seems to have worked OK !
Following the advise on the other forum...
I've installed the stock 2.2
Seems to have gone well
Currently using my main 8gb SD as my goldcard and mem card.
About to make a backup 4gb goldcard..
Only thing I can't get to work properly is Laputa Ebook Reader.
Books are there but don't appear on My Shelf..
I'll have a play !!
HBOOT version?
Also anyone tried unrevoked with this?

If it's stock 2.2, unrevoked won't work since it's got HBOOT 0.92. I'm running that same build, but like chippieuk I haven't downgraded my HBOOT yet for fear of not getting back when something goes wrong or I need my waranty.

or if anyone has a copy, please host it for us somewhere for our flashing pleasure
Withdrawn O2 UK Stock Froyo RUU
I made the mistake of downgrading my Desire SLCD after I had used a clockworkmod ROM and I lost my display. This seems very common, based on the posts on this forum. However I downloaded a copy of the withdrawn stock Froyo RUU and thought I would have nothing to lose if I tried to flash my desire. Well I tried it on Monday and I was over the moon when I found my Desire was back to normal operation.
I have been using the new Froyo on my O2 Ireland phone for a week now and I haven't experienced any negatives. The phone is running a dream in every way and seems faster than the original 2.1 ROM that was initially supplied. I can only guess that the problems experienced by the initial users was related to an upgrade rather than a complete new flash.
The link I used for the O2 UK Froyo RUU is here:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe
I hope this fixes any similar problems for users of the SLCD Desire, good luck
wooo
I just registered to show my thanks to sysconp1, that RUU worked a treat had the bricked slcd used that link and all is well, stock o2UK froyo Thanks again buddy and merry crimbo and a happy new year to all =]
Hi All,
long time reader, 1st time poster,
i have switched from the nexus to the desire, and i have seen lots and lots of diffrent roms for the desire, so i was wondering if i may ask your assistance in locating the best one?
which rom most people prefer ?
what advantages does X rom have over X rom ?
i currently have a desire running 2.2 froyo if there is anyone else switching which could suggest a good switch ?
Hi,
I'm fairly new to this whole rooting business myself and certainly not an expert on advising which is is the 'best'. A lot would depend on your needs and preferences. For my use, however, I found the ROM at :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775
to be very stable and to my liking. It is virtually the same as an OTA update of Froyo, except it is rooted and has some miner modifications.
Read a lot and try different Roms; I'm sure you'll find one to your liking and needs.
Hi Mag,
Thanks for your advice, it sounds like a nice easy starting mod,
btw how did you root the phone to start with ?
i have tried the current REVOked client but that seems to fail each time.
so i was debating sitting back and waiting for REVOkeds new 3.2.1 client to be released for download.
Here is what I did with my very limited knowlage about rooting:
1. I made my working sd card into a 'gold card'. Not sure if that was necessary or not, but it couldn't hurt.
2. I downgraded from OTA froyo to the 2.1 version.
3. Then rooted my phone using Unrevoked3.
After that I was able to update to any rom using clockworks recovery only.
Everything went very smoothly for me without any hickups.
You can find all the needed details about the individual procedures above, on this great site. Search and you will find .
Hope this is of some help.
Mag
PS.: Unrevoked at, http://unrevoked.com/#inc, is suposedly working on a new version that is able to root Froyo without having to dowgrade to 2.1 first.
Unrevoked's rooting solution is already out for the Desire FYI
Here is the link for it
http://unrevoked.com/
Be advised that they have removed the current version because it had some issues with the Evo 4G but the older 3.2 is still up and flawless for the Desire.
Unrevoked Desire
Sadly I had major driver issues with my current PC and couldnt root my phone as of yet.. but will do it in a couple of days when i get my new PC So I cant provide feedback as of yet... But the Wiki page of Unrevoked has pretty much everything covered up for you
Hope I helped a little
yeah the current version means you need to downgrade to 2.1. but id rather go straight into rooting, than mess about with downgrading 1st.
I got a HTC Desire 2.2 yesterday (upgraded from Hero) and for some reason I could rearrange the homescreens, but now I cant and I havent got a clue why, I haven't done anything like putting a custom rom on or rooting it at all yet, has anyone else come across this problem and if so is there anyway to rectify it?
What software version is it running? AFAIK only rooted Desires can do that
it was working yesyterday and its a t-mobile uk, I'v just done an update today but all that does is remove some german stuff of it apparently, but I only did that to see if it would work again, so the current software number is 2.12.110.4 Android version 2.2
Unless the German version allowed it you'd need to root
it definitely worked for the first day, and like I said I did the update after it stopped working, never mind then, I'm gonna root it at some point anyway, because the stock app2sd is nowhere near as good as what I had on my hero with a villain rom
I bought one of those EVO's that has the new HBOOT2.02. I rooted it, Then unrooted it and I figure there was probably an issue with the PC36IMG.zip, as now the camera doesnt work, just like when I had it rooted and tried to run CM's rom. I just want to get this thing back to stock with a working camera, as I am selling it. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Why just use myn rom. That uses the latest htc update and the camera works fine since my girlfriend just got the 2.02 evo rooted. You can install Fresh or myn right now.
The reason CM doesn't work with the back camera, is that the hardware version 004 EVOs (what they're selling now, which comes with the 2.02 hboot) has a different model camera.
Until HTC quits being a douche, and releases the kernel source for the latest OTA like the GPL demands, there's not much anyone can do.

And as for the RUU, I've got it saved here:

I'll be uploading a rooted stock 3.30.651.3 zip soon.
I successfully (after 3 hours) rooted and upgraded my wife's Samsung Moment to froyo 2.2. and removed a bunch of stuff that'll never get used off her new rom and everything is 100% working!
SD ca
So now that my confidence level is a bit higher now.. I wanted to start on my Evo, it's already been rooted with UnrEVOked and that was a huge step for me!
I rely heavily on my Evo daily and can't afford to brick it, nor can I afford to buy another, so I'm very cautiuos..
Well I decided to upgrade my radio version. It's a very old revision, 1 notch above the original.
I'm still on Android 2.1.
OK... I get the radio upgrade, put it into the root of the SDCard, go into recovery, got everything ready to go.. pushed the button, and I get the error message that the .zip file wasn't compatible with clockworld mod.
and that the .zip file is only good good for android 1.5.
So I need to know where I can get the updated radio version for the clockworld mod???
Am I making any sense?
Thank You for any advice!

I'm not familiar with clockwork mod recovery (it's clockwork), because I use Amon Ra recovery. However, I know there are a few different clockwork mod versions. I'm not sure if they are all compatible with 2.1 or not, but you could try updating your recovery, using ROM manager. Is there a reason you haven't upgraded to Froyo? You should update, unless there's a specific reason you've stayed with 2.1. If I were in your situation, this is what I'd do. Create a nandroid backup. Backup your important stuff. Completely wipe the phone, using your recovery. Flash the most recent radios, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 Flash a 2.2 ROM, update your recovery (if you didn't already) Thats just me though.
I'm still looking at the rom lists to see whats on each. I was looking at kings 2.3 but it has no 4g.. i live in a 4g area n want that feature available.. but there's so much to readthru i'm thinking to much into it and confusing myself..
