I have a Desire from Telus in Canada. I would REALLY like to upgrade to Froyo and wanted to know how to do it in a safe way that won't mess up the phone. So I'm wondering if anyone here has done it yet.
Please let me know!
This is what my Software Information screen shows:
Firmware version
2.1-update1
Baseband version
32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09
Kernel version
2.6.29-e5576724
htc-kernel and18-2 #1
Build number
1.29.661.1 CL198499 release-keys
Software number
1.29.661.1
Browser version
WebKit 3.1
Use the general guides for rooting the device with revolt (make sure you grab the custom image for SLCD screens!), then head over to modaco and you can find a stock Froyo rom there unless you want to run a custom one.
for me i didn't have to do any rooting. first i used this guide. create a gold card first though. after creating the gold card, i used this very first link in the first post to update to froyo (2.09.405.8). after that, you can go to ota updates in the settings on the desire and it will then upgrade it to 2.10.405.2.

Hi,
I'm really sorry to start a new thread, but I really need confirmation on what is the correct path to take.
My Desire this week received the vodafone branding update.
Details:
hboot 0.80
2.1-update1
Kernal
2.6.29-dd1a7713
Software Number 1.24.161.3
What is the correct thread to follow with the above details to install the unmodified htc 2.2 release (without root)?
Thanks
I'm in a similar boat.
I have a T-Mobile branded Desire (8181).
Running 2.1-update1, Kernel 2.6.29-3cb3dfbf, Build number: 1.15.110.11 CL155070
I just want to update to FroYo. To many guides to choose from.....
I would like to know the answer as well
Desire bought from 02. Seems to be unlocked, but does have the 02 startup screen and scenes.

How do I take this to 2.2 ? Do I wait for 02 ?
If I have to root, will I always have to use a specific way to update in the future ?
Thanks
I'm want to know this aswel ive been waiting for the o2 update but it still aint here, how hard is it to add 1 screen to the 2.2 froyo and send it out.
Could some one advise if this is the correct way to debrand and upgrade my desire..

Thanks
You need 2 things for a quick route to FroYo on your Desire:
1. A Goldcard (check the Dev forum for instructions)
2. The RUU file to run to update you to FroYo
If you can't find the RUU file you can get the 1.21 generic one and then get the OTA upgrade to 2.2
EDIT: It seems shipped-roms has been suspended so the host to the RUU files has been taken down. You'll need someone to rehost them (of Google them)
EDIT: This should work...

Bare in mind that doing what I suggested will give you a completely stock - and unrootable - Desire so only do it if you want to keep your phone stock
Thanks.
rooting isn't important to me.. but...
If I wait for O2 to upgrade to 2.2 would that allow rooting ?
Does this way stop it totally or is the default stock rom that could be rooted when someone sorts it ?
Hello all, I've decided to root my T-mobile Froyo Desire at last.
I'm gonna use unrevoked using windows or maybe linux
and plan to install the LeeDroid ROM.
I understand I have to back up my RUU but don't know which one is mine.
Checked the shipped ROMs page
PHP:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
and found 3 similar to mine. Which is the right one?
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_TELUS_WWE_2.25.661.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151557_signed.exe
PB99IMG_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip
My phone is:

Kernel version
2.6.32.15-gd96f2c0

build number

thanks
I think it is this - RUU_Bravo_Froyo_TMO_AT_2.12.112.1_Radio_32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2_release_143754_signed.exe
TMO probably stands for T mobile and the the build is pretty close, 2.12.110 ~ 2.12.112.1
Let someone correct me if I am wrong .
Thanks 3722
No further replies so I'm gonna have to assume you're right.
That isn't the right one, your RUU isn't available yet...the only ones available are:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...io_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122755.exe
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
O...
So does that mean its unwise for me to root if my RUU isn't out?
If the 2 ones you've linked are the only ones around am I still OK to root and
not have problems with warranty?
Which one of the 2 is the correct one?
thanks
I wouldn't yet as you've likely got an SLCD screen and those 2 RUUs are for AMOLED only...
So I can't root without the safety net of the backup RUU?
I really need to root and make more space on internal memory using app2sd+
since the froyo version isn't good enough.
Such a shame that I'm now limited in the number of apps I install
thanks for the help anyway guys.
RUU updated?
Bumping my post from November just in case....
I noticed some updated RUUs on http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/
So wondering if any are now the right ones for my desire so I can finally
root the phone and have a backup for the warranty?

I'm in the same. Boat but decided to root anyway. Just use a wwe one if you really have to i doubt they will make a fuss Or do what I did albeit it was by accident, flash the amoled ruu which will kill the screen and report a screen issue along with whatever issue you have. Risky but worked for me once. Hope i don't need to send it off again
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
there are still no uk tmobile leaked RUU's
its a risk you take
Suppose I'll just do as BashyUK I think.
Had the phone for a while now and unable to install all the apps
I'd like due to the low memory crap.
Solution: My internal menory is not enough
=====================================================
Before the last updated, I had rooted with "unrevoked".
After it didn't work.
Any help for me??
Other problem: Which Rom can full support App2SD or A2SD+....
My internal memory is almost full >.<
Thanks for read and comment.

Is that Unbranded or Debranded or Branded?
Hm you said official rom so I guess not Debranded but could be branded or from a diff region??
Hmmm... don't do ota if your rooted is among the first rules, isn't it? You can read it everywhere. Also all rom threads state clearly whether they use a2sd. I think you just need to learn to read.

I have installed 2.2 OTA update from HTC!
Is it a branded???
I must to make a goldcard to rooted??
I have DHD, bought it 12/2010 from Spain. It came unlocked. On boot I see vodafone logo. Few months after purchase I tried to root and flash custom rom but unsuccessfully.
Now I can't open People application, some process crashes in background, so I decided somehow to root ir and flash custom rom.

Is it possible to downgrade and then root phone? Maybe someone can provide me instructions to follow. Thank you.
P.S. Instructions for UK Vodafone, is it the same for Spain's Vodafone? Software numbers does not match.
