I have followed the tutorial at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256&page=34 to debrand my Orange UK Desire.
I now have:-
HBOOT 0.83 (Although I'm 95% its AMOLED)
Radio 32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09
Build: 1.21.405.2 CL174215 release-keys
Software: 1.21.405.2
But when trying to do an OTA update I just get "No updates are available".
I havn't rooted the device and can't understand why I can't get the OTA updates. Is there a specific software version I have to have for it to update?
To my knowledge, once you debranded your device by installing a stock-ROM you are unable to get an OTA update (because somehow HTC or whoever ships the OTA recognizes that you don't have the specified ROM installed on your device - judging on the IMEI and the ROM).
I had an orange.FR branded Desire, bought over eBay, and I installed a custom ROM on it. It doesn't get any OTA too.
My suggestion is, just root it again and install your desired ROM manually.
I also have a debranded orange desire via a gold card and also SIM unlocked, I initially got an OTA last night for 1.15.405.4 and downloaded with delight until there was no wifi. A second update then OTA for froyo 2.2 which I installed via 3g (as I have unlimited data plan) however this worked for seconds before shutting down and restarting again. I then reverted back to the initial RUU and now have the same issues of no updates available.
I now have
Radio 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11
Build: 1.15.405.3 CL150129 release-keys
Software: 1.15.405.3
Does anyone have a solution to get 2.2 onto this desire, the links on xda for roms are all not working as there is a problem with the site being closed.
I am looking for a generic HTC ROM newest version possible please!
Thanks
Just root with revoked.

DO NOT OTA update while you are rooted!
Download this, install and you have official FroYo
Thanks for the info as the phone is unlocked and rooted is it still on Orange?

Nope, you're stuffed until someone works out how to break in to the new HBoot, which may be soon, or may be never.
You should have read the forums first.
OK I have updated Radio ROM and Installed 2.2 all working great I love it. Use the guide/download links posted on the second thread thanks for that
To recap I had HTC Desire locked to Orange now unlocked and fully working with 2.2 update NOTE the first time I installed the 2.2 update the phone crashed at boot up had to reinstall it so be warned
These are new details after radio and 2.2 update

Hi there,
I want to put the following RRU back onto my HTC Desire (back to it's original state from T-Mobile)
RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.15.110.11_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122755
However i am currently on HBOOT 0.80
Do i need HBOOT 0.75 for this RRU? & if so how do i downgrade?
Regards
Phil
Use this one instead...

It's still a T-Mobile stock ROM but newer so will be fine
Thats the one i'm on now, but i want to downgrade to...
RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.15.110.11_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122755

Oh right I think well it probably doesn't get any simpler

Why do you want to go back? There's no benefit in doing so and T-Mobile don't need it back to 'how you got it' if you're returning it to them. So long as its on their FW they'd be fine
I want to go back so i can recieve the T Mobile Andriod 2.2 over the air update
you won't get it from being on 1.15...their sequential, you need 1.15 to 1.21 and 1.21 to get 2.2...I think it's been pulled at the moment though due to it having German apps
I thought it might be why i'm not recieving the 2.2 update. I have just rang T-Mobile and they said they will push it out to me. They release it according to when your phone was manufactured and said it could take up to a week from today, so will see what happens.
Before T Mobile released 2.2 (couldn't wait because they were taking too long! I rooted and went onto the...
RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
I was then able to save apps to the SD card but i lost my Wi-Fi just kept saying Wi-Fi error.
So i downgraded and went back to...
RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed
But have yet to recieve the T Mobile 2.2 update, which will now hopefully be this week sometime so hopefully i can save to sd card again and still have wi-fi working
Yea eddyos is right they might have pulled it. Try taking your simcard out and changing the date and going to settings about phone then check for software updates and see if that works. If not I'm sure there will be a manual ota update somewhere.

There's every chance the update is on the HTC server, someone could run that linux script that checks the server for updates (possibly - I don't know where it is on here)
hey all
i bought a htc desire, and they said to me it is sim-free
now i have some signs it is not.. and i want to check.. how can i ??
thanks

i wanted to restore my desire with RUU, so i made a goldcard and used the 2.29.405.2WWE RUU .. i didnt want to take the risk, so i did a gold card.. but i want to know..
Yes you're unbranded and don't need a gold card, x.xx.405.x is the generic WWE SIM-free model
so why cant I update system to 405.5 :-(
it gives me an error.. it starts the update.. but stops sometime
So you used a gold card to flash 2.29.405.2? If so, you can't get the OTA update.
Seems Google changed something to stop debranded phones getting the update, nothing you can do
You can get the OTA updates, just use the Goldcard. That what I did and it worked for me. Or you can just flash a 2.29.405.5 rom. You can use the RUU if you want but you will need to root again. And yes, Google have changed the code because they're a pain
OTA won't work with a gold card to go to 2.29.405.5 - Google changed something to make them all fail with 'Code 7'
Can only use the RUU but no one if the same will be true of the next OTA
My desire HD has been restored from a custom ROM using the RUU, but it's been rooted, with ENG-OFF etc. but still on the stock HTC rom. However I still haven't received the OTA Gingerbread update, despite friends on the same network and with the same phone having received it. Does restoring it using an RUU or having it rooted affect in any way receiving the update?
I know I can update via the new RUU, but I'm just interested to know why I haven't received it. Any help is really appreciated

maybe... but its strange...
can you leave here what´s your currently rom exactly? version,,, kernel,,,, etc etc...
in theory it´s going to receive gingerbread update all the people that has 2.2.1 froyo.... if i´m not mistaken its 1.8xxxx
but ei!.. you can update your device from HTC SYNC without problems if you are sure that you have a WEE OFFICIAL RUU... SYNC APP is going to identify your device like a unbreanded phone and is going to give to you an update

The official OTA has not yet been rolled out to everybody. It is slated for the 16th, so if you don't get it by end of Monday, maybe contact your carrier. http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_...gingerbread_on_16_may_in_the_uk-news-2638.php

Indeed. ^^^^^^^^^^
As an example: I had an HTC Hero - rooted, stock WWE(pretty much). The phone would recognise that an OTA update was available but wouldn't install properly because of the custom recovery I had installed. The update notification took a few extra days to appear on my phone comparative to other peoples phones....(not that it mattered really, to install it I had to flash a new ROM anyways.)
........in other words, patience is a virtue. You'll get the update very shortly.
well can be possible that he don´t received the update because his carrier don´t launched it...
but I THINK that (reading his verion of RUU etc...) he is not going to receive OS 2.3 because he is in the android 2.2 (1.32 older)
for receive the update (for do a correct and estable update) he should to udate to 1.8xxx OS 2.2.1...
i repeat...only i think that he should do it...
if he rejected the 2.2.1 update... maybe its not going to arrive him the 2.3.3 update...
it can carry problems...
but i repeat... for ensure of it you can try htc sync and verify if it´s available an update for your device...
Thanks for all the info. I ended up just using the new RUU, couldnt wait to try out ginerbread any longer

i understand you perfectly
Hi guys,
I got a Desire HD from Vodafone australia, currently voda is rolling out the Gingerbread update.
When I first got my phone I rooted s-off'd and all that and loaded cyanogenmod.
All in all it started having issues so I installed an RUU of the 1.72.405.3 generic. Originally it had 1.32 voda branded rom on it. Now everytime I go to check for updates there doesn't seem to be any.
All my friends desire hds have got the update but mine. So I am wondering if anyone else with the 1.72 from has received the update and or if I will get it due to not using the original rom.
try installing the original voda RUU. then update
Why don't you update to 2.3 with an ruu file, the file has been out there for a while. (not on the PC or I would provide you a link)

If your phone is running a stock 1.72 rom then i'd say yes you'll get the OTA update, but since you've got S-OFF i'm not 100% sure.
I'd suggest you just use the Gingerbread RUU in the development section
I'm having the same problem. Vodafone Australia phone. But used gold card to put unbranded 1.32.405.6 on. I haven't been able to get the OTA update to apply, just says I'm already up to date.
Edit: I tried booting up the phone with the SD card I used as my gold card. Didn't work either.
