Hi,
I was offered the froyo upgrade via the OTA notification during the weekend, but decided to wait to see what issues people would have with the update.
Today I decided to install the update, but I can no longer get it - "Your phone is up to date".
All version numbers are the same as before, ie firmware 2.1-update1, build 1.21.405.2 and so on.
With my old Hero, I held back the 2.1 upgrade for several days, but always could check for the upgrade and see it as available for download.
Has the OTA upgrade been temporarily been held back, or am I missing something here?

You can always grab the zip file off HTC servers and update it manually (that's what I did on Sunday, not having WiFi and limited 3G traffic).
ZIP File

Oh, well. Now it's available again.
How do you update the zip file manually?
1. Grab : http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip
2. Copy the file to your microSD card and name it update.zip (newb warning: not update.zip.zip)
3. Power off your phone.
4. Hold down the VOLUME DOWN button and power it back on.
5. The phone will now search for files like PB00IMG.zip, etc. This is normal. Scroll down to recovery and press the POWER button.
6. When you see the /!\ symbol, press the POWER button and the Volume Up button at the same time. You should be presented with a menu and one of the options should be "Apply sdcard:update.zip".
7. Use the trackball to navigate to "apply sdcard:update.zip" and select it.
8. When you see "Install from sdcard complete", select "reboot system now".

is this method exactly the same as downloading direct from your phone? So will we still continue to recieve ota updates? And does it keep your data?
yes it will.
sweet doing it now. came up with Can't open /cache/recovery/command, but everything else seems to be doing alright
Can anybody help me with a question, I rooted my voda locked desire and flashed it with a rooted official froyo rom from this site, I wanted to unroot so as to get any further ota updates as normal but have since found it is easer said than done with a 0.80 bootloader, so my question is would this do the trick for me ? Thanks in advance

OTA Update 2.2 FR
Hi,
On my Desire I cannot get the OTA (version 1.21.405.2 for the moment). It tells me that the phone has the latest update.
When I try to open the french support page on HTC.com and choose the Desire in the list I get the message that this page is not available.
The link to download the file directly from HTC site is broken as well.
Does anyone have a link to get this file from another server?
Thanks

try this
Debranding procedure:
1.Download the generic unbranded software here: http://androidfiledepot.com/Storage/Desire/Stock%20Roms/RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe
2.Run the software downloaded in step 1.
(Windows may prompt you to reboot when the phone switches to bootloader mode. If so you'll need to reboot and run the software again.)
3.This will flash your Desire with a generic HTC version of the OS.
4.Enjoy!
5.If you used the SD card that came with the phone, you can copy your backup back onto the SD card next time you connect your phone in "disk drive" mode.

If you have Unrevoked 3 installed:
1. Download stock Evo Recovery image (Can't find it anywhere... EVO Stock Recovery? - xda-developers)
2. Place the file in root of SD card and reboot into HBOOT (volume down/power button)
3. Do the update that HBOOT asks (vol. up for YES)
4. Reboot
5. Once rebooted, download OTA and install (should work now)
6. Once install finishes successfully you can reinstall a custom recovery using the same method (a list of them are here: public:forever [RootWiki])
7. Once you have a custom recovery back, you will need to reinstall Superuser as an update.zip through recovery ([APP] Superuser 2.3.6.1 - Now on the Market [2010-09-05] - xda-developers)
8. Reboot and enjoy!
Well I followed the instructions and the update went through... HOWEVER I have now lost root.... Help please.
EDIT: S-OFF does appear when I boot into the bootloader...
If you have S-Off, than you have not lost root.
YOu probably just lost your recovery, and you need to reflash it.
This tutorial from tws101 worked for me (I can't post a link as a new user):
"This guide will allow you to install the new OTA 3.29.651.5 when you have clockwork installed and will guide you into re-rooting the phone afterwards. (This does NOT wipe your data)
I am sorry if someone already posted this.
Requirements
1. Froyo 2.2 version 3.26.651.6 (Stock)
2. Clockwork
3. S-OFF
Files to Download (If you have a file manager on your phone you can just direct download them with the EVOs browser)
1. OTA_Supersonic_3.29.651.5 This is the new OTA update
2. ClockworkMod recovery for EVO 4G Clockwork (I know you already have it. This is to reinstall it)
3. su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip Superuser (This is also to reinstall)
Step one
Place OTA_Supersonic_3.29.651.5 on your SD cards root folder. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. Once the bootloader is up goto recovery so clockwork loads up. Choose apply zip from sd card. Choose select zip on sd card. You will see the OTA file on the list flash it. Just wait for it to install it will reboot the phone show a progress bar reboot again they show a percentage etc it takes a few minutes.
Now you have the update installed, but the update removed clockwork and root.
Step two
Place ClockworkMod recovery for EVO 4G on your sd card root folder. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. The bootloader will scan the new will and ask you to press Volume up to install. Install it.
Now you have clockwork installed again. Please remove the clockwork file from the root of your SD card before going to step 3.
Step Three
Place su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip on the SD cards root folder. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. Once the bootloader is up goto recovery so clockwork loads up. Choose apply zip from sd card. Choose select zip on sd card. You will see the SU file on the list flash it.
Now you are updated and rerooted. (I have been told it is possible to just rerun unrevoked instead of doing step 2 and 3. I did not test that method. I am simply showing a different method.)
Update
I am now getting 53 FPS with FPS 2D"
Thanks tws101

You dont take updates once you are rooted, just flash a rooted ROM
First of all - Once you have rooted your phone - NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER do an OTA update from sprint............
Not sure what your software version is or your hBoot, but if you have 2.02 hboot and 3.30 software, then you can do it the way I did...
having said that - You have not lost root, S-Off = Root, you just lost your recovery... all you need to do is flash a new custom recovery. I use Amon_Ra, but clockwork will work as well... what ever your preferance is...
I cant find the amon_ra that I used, so here is the new CW (attachment 1) - download it - rename it to just (all CAPS except extention!!) "PC36IMG.zip" - Then save it to the root of your SD card. Also save attachment 2 to the root of your SD card.
Boot into hBoot, it will scan the SD card for the PC36IMG.zip - when it asks to do update - click yes... After update completes it will ask to reboot - click NO, then scroll down to flash the superuser app (2nd attachment), I forget what exactly it says but its some thing like "flash from SDcard" or some thing like that...
after you flash the SU.apk, then reboot and if all is good - download ROM manger and flash the Amon_Ra recovery (3rd attachment) and make a NAND backup with Amon_Ra first - cause I'll be honest - I used the CWmod first and I had a bunch of Force Close issues after I did a NAND backup with CW...
Good luck!
Firstly I would like to thank bigrushdog & the ppl for the below links i quoted
I just would like to do an add on of the bigrushdog thread. Since I was a lill bit worried when 1st I flashed my SG WiFi xoom that is running 3.0.1.

Hi! Thanks for this guide.
In the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093112 I asked about this same process, and was not sure if I first needed to install the US 3.0.1 ROM after unlocking the device. In one of the replies I was told I should, but in your guide you don't have that listed.
Do I need to flash the US 3.0.1 rom first, or not?

Was your xoom on a USA based 3.0.1, or an international 3.0.1?
Im on an SG Wifi Xoom also. Actually, I followed the instructions from BigRushDog's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074609.
I was rooted and on Tiamat 1.4 before I tried doing the update. It went flawless. Just follow the 3 steps in that thread. In essence, your xoom will have the US firmware and you will have access to books.
The extra steps highlighted by OP may be a safer bet though. Im not sure.

Anybody followed this guide on a UK WiFi? At the moment I am unlocked, but not rooted. This guide implies that you can update using CWM without root, which sounds logical, though it has been stated elsewhere that you need root :/

OK you don't need root to install CWM, and if you get the latest 3.2.0.0 it works on the external SD card out of the box (for installation of CWM follow the instructions above). Download the lastest CWM image here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979
I followed the guide below to the letter (even step 1) to get my UK stock 3.0.1 to rooted US 3.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075260#
I did have to wipe (as I was in a bootloop), and I copied the MZ604_3.1_ROOT_update.zip file directly to the SDcard via my PC (rather than pushing or mounting the card in CWM), but apart from that it all went OK
Bonus! All my apps were restored this time (as I had to do a factory reset a few days ago d/t a 3.0.1 issue)
...also my internal SD was untouched
Edit: Only thing missing was my AutoSport app which will not let me download, so will have to sideload.

If you're getting boot loops you probably need to wipe. Did you wipe as per the instructions...?

This doesn't work when you have not set the USB debugging options under "Settings" > "Applications" > "Development". FYI. It got me when I followed your guide.
It will say device not found.

Thank you for bringing this up ... forget to mention this
Hello,
I am a DINC owner and I am working on my brother's VZW DINC2 and I am trying to gain root.
First I installed the the newest GB RUU. (His phone was stuck on stock froyo and but would not update.) It installed flawlessly.
( RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_3.02.605.1_Ra dio_1.09.01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_202929_signed from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922 )
Then I ran the unrevoked beta and it installed without error and then installed clockworkmod recovery from it as well.
Now after I installed Root explorer, TI, CWM, busy box and superuser but they all claim to not be able to access root? I rebooted and tried again but not dice.
I ran unrevoked beta again and it said it was already s-off. Is there a special DINC2 trick I missed? Any ideas or troubleshooting suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
-Paul

10 - On your phone, back track to the main menu of HBoot using the volume keys and Power button and select recovery (2nd Option). In a few seconds your will be in CWM.
11 - As long as you copied the signed zip file to the root of your sdcard, perform the following:
"Install Zip From SDCard" (5th Option)
"Choose Zip From SDCard" (2nd Option)
Select the root/su zip file (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip)
Choose Yes and wait.
Back track to main menu and reboot

An extra step that I did not have to do on my DINC... Live and learn, cheers!
I found out that, there is some different procedure to be followed for those who dont have stock recovery..
Can some one give a detailed tutorial on how to revert back to stock and then upgrade.. Dying to feel lollipop on my phone

Use the following method to replace your custom recovery with stock recovery and prepare your phone for an official OTA Update (Like the Lollipop 5.0.2 update just launched for the HTC Desire 820)
1. Download the OTA Update but do not install.
Go to Options -> About phone -> Software updates
When prompted, click on 'install later'.
2. Open file explorer and go to Download folder (/storage/emulated/0/Download) and find zip file with update. (It should begin with a51_)
3. Connect your phone to a PC and copy the zip file to your desktop.
4. Using a program like WINRAR, open the file.
5. Open firmware.zip
4. Copy "recovery.img" to your phone's sdcard.
5. Download 'Flashify' from the Google Play store on your phone.
6. Run Flashify and select "Recovery image".
7. Select "Choose a file" and select the recovery.img you had copied to your sd card earlier.
8. Select "YUP!" and wait.
Note *Don't restart your device.*
9. Install update
Go to Options -> About phone -> Software updates and select "Install now".
10. Let your phone restart and upgrade to the new operating system. This will take quite some time if your phone is filled with apps.
11. Enjoy.
I hope this helps, message back here if you hit any roadblocks. If each step is followed properly, you should have stock recovery back and thus, be able to install OTA updates normally.
I have already downloaded the update and have copied it to other location...
Is it possible that I can update that from the recovery itself...
( BTW i am unable to boot inot recovery now... Whenever I click on recovery in the boot menu... It redirects to some HBOOT, power down.. etc etc menu,.. And not the recovery)

At step 9 the progress bar stops and displays red exclamation mark.Also recovery.img from ota that I flashed causes bootloop when entered into recovery from hboot.
