Hey all, this is a newbie user of Desire.
My Desire is from Singapore (according to the HTC customer centre by checking my IMEI) and I am currently in Hong Kong. I think this is the reason why I haven't receive the OTA in HK region. However, I know Singapore has released the Froyo update in this week, how come I have not received any.
Desperately look forward for Froyo for long. Hope you guys can help!
Thanks!!

Hi
My desire has firmware : 1.20.207.3 CL171460 release-keys
I'm debating debranding it and putting the latest generic rom on it.
The reason for this is I'm moving from the UK to NZ, but would like to get the 2.2 firmware upgrade.
From what I've read, debranding will allow me to upgrade when I'm out of the UK.
Is this safe to do ? I don't want to brick my new phone !!
Can you advise how I would do this or if there is any other option for me !!
Many Thanks
Hi sorry to pick this one up as not answered but I am in exactly this position.
Bought a Desire from o2 in UK and moved to New Zealand.
VF NZ sim works straight out the box,
but will I be able to 2.2 this phone? My sw is 1.20.207.3.
Obviously dont need any o2 features on this phone as I wont be using their network?
Cheers from both.
Debrand using a ROM and guide, both can be found on this forum. I used a WWE ROM and it worked for me without any issues. You should then get any OTA updates as soon as they're released in your region.
Hope this helps.

OTA is going to take a while... Over The Air update is only possible when HTC releases the update theru the carrier that you are on.. in your case.. when Airtel agrees with HTC to release, only then you will have the OTA update to 1.72... officially.. yes unofficially u can get it... but be careful, if you do the 1.72 update you wont be able to root your device.. YET!
Cheers!
I got my Desire HD from UK and its updated to 1.72, my carrier is Vodafone.
I didn't buy my phone from Airtel so I don't think I gotta wait for Airtel to approve the update .

I asked HTC India and this is their reply
To clarify your issue, you stated that: You want to know the launch date of Android 2.2.1 for HTC desire HD.
In this regard we would like to intimate you that.Android 2.2.1 currently is no such information when Android 2.2.1 will launched in India. When it will available in India then you can find on HTC India web site. www.htc.com/in

Did you get the update through Vodafone, while in India? Or did you get the update while in UK?

Mate , only if your phone is locked to a carrier is when you gotta wait for the Carrier ( Vodafone, O2 , T-Mobile) to release the software update. For users in country like India , the updates are never dependant on the carrier.
For example , i bought my Google Nexus One from the United States unlocked . The moment Google released 2.2 and 2.2.1 i got the OTA update on my phone.
Its just that HTC India hasnt released the update for DHD's , btw dont waste your time by asking HTC India , they are useless.
I guess its better to play the waiting game.
Its gonna take a while for the update in INDIA!
The problem z HTC INDIA is different from HTC Asia!
So we need 2 get a seperate update from HTC!
As far as I know 1.72 got pulled from all markets due to bugs. If this is correct I don't think you will ever see 1.72 officially as htc develops are now hard at work and focussed on Gingerbread.
Sent from my Desire HD pocket rocket.
The 1.72 update and the 1.8 update was not released in India.
Rather we will see a direct update to Gingerbread so you need not worry about 2.2 updates.

I don't think that DHD is sold in India locked to the service providers. All DHDs are unlocked. So as soon as India -specific region update comes up they will pass it on through OTA.
Could someone please help us "HTC Desire HD users" who have not been able to update our phone to 2.2.1 specially those purchased in Middle East. Our current software is 2.2 and everytime we check for software update it always says our software is updated. Is there a way to manually update our Desire HD? with 2.2.1 download provided? Many thanks to the great person who can give us a great value of assistance!
quote all, I purchased it in italy, it come with froyo 2.2, but when i check for software update it always says our software is updated.

Apparently HTC has pulled off the 1.72 updates as a lot of people were having problems with the SD card failing. I believe HTC are working on another OTA to fix it and will be rolling out soon.
I belive update was removed from HTC and it was removed with reason. You should read this link for more informations. I am as well on 2.2 only, but as I saw how many problems were there with 1.72 OTA update, I am glad that I didn`t get that update
@dhiral.v & droidhd
Many thanks for the information Hope HTC would roll out soon the update!

Hi everyone,
So I'm here with my S-Offed HTC Desire wondering if someone has or know where to find original ROMs from swiss provider Swisscom.
Cause I'm very happy with my RCMix ROM but I was thinking of the day I would try to sell it and just thought that if I reinstalled an official RUU from HTC, the new owner would have troubles when an OTA update would arrive, because it requires a goldcard and the best would be to have a Swisscom ROM so the phone would run troubleless (even it would remain on poor 2.2 ).
BTW, if the phone remains S-Offed, do we really need a Goldcard, because if it works I could just put an official RUU, remove alpharev's boot screen and it would be ok, OTA updates without troubles (I remember that I tryed once to update when I just changed to official RUU from Swisscom's one and without a Goldcard the phone ran crazy haha).
Thanks
P.S. : If a swisscom's customer comes down here and has tried several Radios, could he or she tell which one seemed to work well with swisscom's network ? I didn't have time to try it seriously

There is also an ruu thread on the development section. You might be lucky
Sent from my HTC Desire
Hei,
Swisscom's ruu is the same as Vodafone UK.
So you can use the following ruu : RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_Radio_32.36.00.28 U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed.exe
Bye,
TS
A huge thanks

BTW how did you find the information? I did some searches but didn't find anything ... Does this Rom come with some vodaphone apps?
I hope this thread can help other Swisscom customers

Because when I got my HTC Desire, there were several vodafone applications that could not be removed.
But, many people complained about that and now the rom is clean.
Hey,
I've been waiting for a long time for the 2.3 update on my DHD and I still have not received an update to my phone, i was wondering if anyone has come across this issue and if there is a way to manually apply the update without rooting the phone.
My android version currently is 2.2.1 and software number is 1.84.832.2
any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

While you are waiting for a reply here (unfortunately I don't know the answer) you could try sending an email to HTC.
They may will be able to help you
HTC rolls out the OTA update region by region, with exception to some countries. 1st, by following above suggestion, do check your region whether they have launched the OTA update. 2nd, if you do want to update, at least turn the ENG S-OFF, as latest 2.50 is not rootable or downgradable (this way you can revert to older builds).

Good news for you, HTC just now begins to roll out 2.50.405.2 update to unbranded DHD in Europe, fixing the previous build wifi issues. [AndroidCentral]

I did send an email to HTC quite awhile ago, at first I thought the phone originated in hong kong. But after sending HTC the serial number of the phone they told me it originated from India. As far as i'm aware people from both India and Hong Kong have received this update already and HTC told me that I should receive the update based on where the phone originated from and yet I still have no update.
