When Telus releases the 2.2 update for their HTC Desire, could someone upload the RUU for that? My desire is pretty much bricked. I can't access recovery or my OS, so this RUU may be my only hope.
As you all know, Telus RUU's are impossible to find. I really hope that this isn't an OTA update.
Anyone know if this update will be OTA ? Or will it be offered as a download from their website?
Is there some way for a person to dump the 2.2 RUU when it comes out? I'm assuming ppl can't do that with the 2.1.
Moved to Q&A as not development.

Hi Guys,
I recently rooted and put a custom froyo 2.2 rom onto my HTC Desire. In the process i must of lost the backup of the original rom that shipped with the phone. The phone was bought with Vodafone Ireland and the baseband is 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04 . Im not sure but the guide i used to update my phone advised updating the radio (which i think is the same as the baseband). What i want to do is to download an original 2.1 (or 2.2) Rom so i can update to froyo the offical way. Basically the rom i currently have is buggy and i wanted to upgrade/downgrade to 2.1. I dont know what i need to do with my radio version or what difference it makes.
So my questions are:
1. Can someone link me a place i can download original HTC Desire Rom 2.1 so i can restore my phone to normal and upgrade to 2.2 through offical OTA?
2. What difference does the radio make? Why do i need to update that when i install a rom?
Thanks
oh and also if i put the original rom on it does that undo the rooting? Basically i want a stable version of 2.2 that i will be able to recieve updates in the future through offical methods (OTA)
i need this too
Look in the development section, there you can find RUU's those are original roms.
If u get an original ruu and follow instructions to install Froyo will be available for its system update. This includes an updated radio.

Thanks, Does this get rid of rooting? and do i need to pick a RUU that has the same radio as mine?
this "Updates" your desire, making completely stock like, from what i know you have to choose what fits you phone, if it's Hboot .80 or that other one...
it will lock your recovery too...
hey sorry about all my noob questions but i tried the following page before
"HTC Desire > Desire Android Development > [ROM] Official HTC Desire RUU ROMS and OTA Update URL"
and any of the ones i tried dont seem to work. Is it someting to do with the fact that none of them are the same radio as mine?
Im guessing i should be trying the gsm ones. i tried to install some of the zips through rom manager from GSM HTC OTA Update URLs but they failed.
by "lock" do you mean that i will never be able to recover again and ya my hboot is .80
guys,
Can someone please help with this, im really stuck.
Thanks
Hello all,
I am looking for the link where I can download the official release of Froyo 2.2 for the HTC Desire. I have searched everywhere but I just couldn't find anything official.
Could anyone please help me?
Thanks!
Do you want the RUU or an OTA update?
Thanks for your reply.
I'm very new to all these terms. I just need the latest ROM so I could install it on my phone. I installed a customised ROM by a developer but now I'm very hesitant to use it due to probable spyware/malware that might have been preinstalled.
Any ideas?
Basically the zip file where I can save it to my flash disk and perform a manual system upgrade. Is this called RUU?
Is your phone branded with carrier logos or software? Or is it an unbranded phone?
Hi, it's an unbranded HTC desire, rooted, unlocked. The current firmware is LeeDroid.
Thanks
Hi I would like to know if there would be a problem if I flash the official rue of an Asian desire z with a european version or vice versa?
I bought my phone second hand and I decided to flash the 1.34.707.1 version into my originally 1.72 desire z. Now my phone cannot find updates. It keeps telling me that there is no update even if check manually.
I know that I can flash a higher version by downloading a higher rue version but what I wanted to find out if I can no longer receive ota updates because of what I did.
Since when I was in 1.72 my phone did not notify me of the 1.82 update too...
I don't know what's wrong.. Please help. Thank you.
I think if you are SuperCID and S-Off, it would work. Otherwise, it won't let you flash the ROM from another region.
Also, if you flash an official ROM, you will lose root, and you can't get it back on any ROM version higher than 1.34. For this reason, if you downgraded to 1.34 for purposes of rooting, you don't want the OTA updates, anyway.
If you're rooted and S-Off, and you want a more updated ROM version, just flash the Virtuous custom ROM. Its mostly stock 1.85, but rooted, and with a few cool added features and some optimizations.
Hi, the thing is I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to rooting. I read the posts here specifically in the wii section and I don't think I have the skills to pull it off and risk bricking my phone.
I think my phone is not rooted or it was before but not anymore, since as mentioned I flashed an official ruu.
So basically, I should still be able to receive OTA's from HTC right? I was wondering why my phone keeps telling me there's no update when the software number is 1.34 stock and not rooted. Shouldn't it notify me that there's an update at least regardless of whether I want to or not?
If you are not rooted, why did you downgrade to 1.34?
I also don't understand why you want to flash the RUU from a different region. If you aren't SuperCID and S-Off it won't work. Why not just flash the latest official RUU for your phone versions/region if you want to be updated and don't care about root?
I'm not sure why your OTA's don't work. I'm still on 1.34 (well, back to it), and I still get notifications to update.

I bought the phone from a friend of mine. I noticed that it had eng hboot and had s-off.
I have zero knowledge about rooting. When the gingerbread test rom for the desire z came out, I flashed the pc10img.zip via the bootloader, however since it was very buggy and laggy, I decided to flash stock desire z rom.
Having no knowledge about rooting I read some of the threads in this forum and learned that flashing an official rom i.e. the RUU would be the easiest way to return back to stock.
It worked, I am using stock rom. I experimented and found out that I can flash any of the RUU, so I chose any of the WWE release. I decided to flash an older firmware version specifically, the 1.34.707.1.
Now the problem is my phone doesn't prompt me with an update, even after checking in about phone > check for update.
I still have s-off but eng hboot is gone. To clarify I was not the one who rooted the phone, so I have no idea what to do.
Is it possible that the previous owner tweaked something in the phone that would absolutely prevent it from receiving OTA?
I am just worried since I have a feeling that the gingerbread OTA will be released in a few weeks since the update for the Desire HD is already out.
Please help and thank you again. I extremely as a NOOB!

I wouldn't worry about getting the official Gingerbread ROM OTA. It will probably be posted here or at shipped-roms.com long before you would get it OTA.
ive got a rooted branded(vodafone UK) desire
is it possible for me to flash with the lastest nonbranded RUU ROM which would be 2.3 when it gets uploaded or is does it have to be a more complexed way to debrand it?
Goldcard will be needed most likely.
Why don't you just flash the RUU for your phone and get the OTA update from vodafone
vodafone will take to long to release the update. they like to change it then release it to their customers....
there's no difference anyway, still the same android and HBOOT etc.. and still the old sense, using the vodafone RUU is just easier.
Hello, i have just had the 2.3.5 update with 3.0 sense and i wish to go back to what i had previously.
This was 2.3.3 i believe. I was up to date before receiving the above update.
I have an ORANGE branded device with all security in place. I don't wish to de-brand or s-off etc... I'm hoping that i can simply download a .exe file of the older ROM and install, overwrite, then smile.
Will it be that simple? I've looked high and low for Genuine Orange roms but can not find any. Could someone point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks.
Unfortunately you will have to root and s-off your phone, then install the earlier rom, then un-root and s-on your phone. I might be wrong but look for the wwe version of the orange rom
I could not just install the older genuine rom over the newer genuine rom?
No, only updates can be applied as far as I know. It doesn't take long to root and s-off tho, then you can out your older rom on
