Someone else has mentioned this on another forum, thought I'd give a heads up here
Anybody who knows what exactly changed with this OTA?
Think it's just smoother playback on 720p video from what someone on the Vodafone forum said...they never have change logs to updates so other than that no idea
should I
Think i will hold off i got stung by vodafone last time who filled my phone with there 360 crap
Confirmed on Vodafone website from others who've downloaded it that there is NO Vodafone gumpf so you're good to go
http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/topic/80416-2331612/page__gopid__515537&#entry515537
I got it just now and can't find any changes yet...
The update file is 30.8MB. It's a big file for not changing much.
would someone please root this one and make it with superuser and the usual stuff? interests me very much - thanks in advance
Why not just flash it and then root it again?
Does anyone knows what has exactly been changed???
Read the thread I posted up there...
"Hi Guys
I have got the HTC Desire, but haven't updated it yet, as I want to back up my information first.
The information that I have been given is that the improvement included an upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1 for better video play, addition of Google security patches, the latest Gmail client, and a few bugs have been ironed out from the previous update.
I hope you all enjoyed the latest update.

Yeah I want to but I can't find the update??
I can't seem to update this. I get a signature verification error and failed install.
I've tried downloading a number of times.
Is this because I've rooted the phone?
TIA
Yes it is, you need to be unrooted. You can try turning off signature checking in Clockwork Mod but it might go a bit funny
How can I do this update? My phone is rooted. Do I just unroot, update, reroot? Thanks
You can't 'unroot' without wiping all data as you have to use an RUU. Fortunately there is this RUU now available in ROM Development so you can just flash it
Find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853937
How do I flash it, just run it? When I flash it what happens? Do I still have ClockWorkMod installed or do I have to reroot?

Hi all,
Last night i installed the new update for HTC Desire that popped up, after restarting the phone i now cant use my wifi and get the "unable to start wifi" when trying to enable it in settings.
I see this is a cause of the new update and alot of poeple are having the same problem. I have searched this forum and although finding other posts asking this the replies seem to be a mind boggling array of numbers and i can find a good step-by-step guide to get my phone back in good shape.
So my question is, can someone post a very detailed step-by-step guide to essentially get my phone back to the way it was (getting rid of this update) and then installing this new update properlly if posible. If any files are needed can you give a direct link to them
Here are my phone details:
T-mobile simunlocked and not branded
Isn't/has never been rooted
Fireware version
Fireware 2.1-update1
BaseBand version
32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11
Kernel Version

If you need any more info just ask, i will be watching this tread constantly :/
Thanks to anyone who gives info or help.

I'm in the exact same situation. I've also tried a hard reset, nothing resolved.

I had the same problem, what i did was : create a goldcard and root my phone again thus returning to the previews version. That fixed my wifi..i don't know if there is a guide to keep the update and fix it at the same time.
the pirority for me is to get my wifi back up and working, i dont really care about the new update atm.

Download and reinstall the older ROM file? I lost my Wifi after updating my debranded Orange Desire. I simply reinstalled the same ROM i originally used to debrand the phone and soon had my wifi back in no time

Ye a step by step for that would be good, including the link to the file would that wipe the whole phone ? apps/sd and settings included?
Exactly the same problem for me!
I have a Vodafone supplied desire, which was not locked, or branded in anyway, but decided that I would like the WWE rom, as Vodafone almost never bother updating their roms!
I made a Goldcard 3 weeks ago, and installed the WWE Generic rom 1.15.405.4 (I think that's the right number) and a few days ago, got the message telling me of an update.
Like an idiot, I just installed it, and consequently lost WIFI.
Searched the forums and found a link to the full updated rom, using my Goldcard I then installed it, and it's been working fine ever since.
Heres the link to the full rom:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
Here's a link for making a Goldcard:
http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
Please be aware that this will completely wipe your device, unlike the update that keeps all of your apps, settings etc, but it does work!
Good luck!

Use the links provided by pergolesi and you should be ok.
Unfortunately because i am new on here i cannot post or send links. Sorry.
Thank you for the replies, ill see what other ppl come up with and see where to go from there
I did the exact same think as many other people, Goldcard Unbranded my Orange Desire few weeks ago, did the OTA update and got my phone Network locked, so I purchased a unlock code and feared my wi-fi would not work when I put the code in, my wifi works fine? , Im wondering what was so different for me? maby if we can figure that out might help other people.

This may be a stab in the dark but maybe the updater checks the network sim lock to help determine what update to install? It may see the Orange network lock and think the phone is still Orange branded and download the Orange customized update, causing a compatibility issue with the wi-fi?

Can i give this a bump, just to see if anyone else has some ideas
theres another thread which has more posts
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693628
My buddy got a rooted EVO on craigslist, wants to go back to stock, just feels better without root, doesn't have any interest in rooting, roms, etc.
I rooted my own evo so i have some exp with rooting the phone but was thinking i could just flash update.zip and it would update his phone and unroot.
but two update.zip i dl which were supposed to be official 2.2 did not work, one failed verification/signature cant remember excactly but will post if needed. the other one just gave a strange error.
Do i need to wipe the data/factory reset/or anything special?
Am i to hopeful assuming flashing update.zip will unroot? also if he gets OTA update tomorrow should he accept and will that unroot?
thanks in advance, i tried to do a search on unrooting and found a bunch of dead end options, i tried a few with no success. I was hoping the new update would be the easiest route.
here is a few i tried
sorry to new for links....
did not try this one yet, was hoping the OTA would avoid this:
any insight is greatly appreciated, i have tried to convince him to stay rooted but no luck. if anybody had success with one of the OTA 2.2 update.zip floating around and could share a link it would help me out, i used two different ones with no success.
For the love of god, please search and post in the right forum. There are tons of threads on this, including a new one this evening.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743192
The thread above is even on this PAGE with the subject line of 'How To UN ROOT. TUTORIAL. Your Problems are solved!'.
HOW you missed that is incomprehensible.
PLEASE IF SOMEONE CAN MOVE THIS TO THE PROPER FORUM I WOULD APPRECIATE IT, I MESSED UP AND POSTED INCORRECTLY. thank you...
I searched the forums, I tried to post the links of many options available for unrooting the phone, I don't have the privileges to post links.
The one you posted I DID SEE I should have been more direct, I was looking to see if the new OTA update will update the phone to 2.2 and unroot the phone, since its not my phone i don't want to spend to much time on it or simply pass the info on to him.
I was NOT IN ANYWAY looking to be directed to another source for unrooting or lead to a link, what i could not find was if the new ota will be the easiest route. I had him try two run two of what I had believed were the newest ota update.zip with no success.
So, I just got my DInc a few days ago and they did the OTA update at the store while setting up my phone. After 4 days of searching and trying to downgrade, I think I may have found, or figured out a way to downgrade to stock 2.2 without having s=off.
First thing is, the 2nd video on this thread shows how to downgrade if you did the unofficial OTA update, and provides a link for the files. Basically it seems to be a way to downgrade the hboot.
My question is this....if I was to follow that guide and do the down grade that way, would it be possible to the update zip from here, or use the one from this forum here, without basically bricking the phone?
I've rooted my fiances Droid 2 without any problems, and I've done a great deal of console modding and checking out firmware in computers and consoles and from what I gather, it seems that this would work in downgrading from the OTA update and being able to get root and not have problems. My problem is that I don't know much about the DInc enough to try it without an input from people that do know.
Any thoughts or ideas? Or anyone willing to try it and let me know? lol
Sorry for the outside links, but I couldn't find all the info on the forums here.
Unrevoked should have a solution to rooting the OTA ready for release within the next day or two. I'd wait for that rather than trying other untested methods.
That's possible, but then again, they may not be having any luck, or might come up with a similar mehod. Nothing is ever tested on the first try lol.
Im hoping someone else has either tried this, or knows enough about it to say if it will work or not. If I can get my phone rooted this way and not have to wait for Unrevoked to do it, that's ok with me lol.
It would work if you had an s-off hboot but I believe this method was already proven not to work with the s-on hboot as it doesn't allow downgrading. You'll get a message similar to "newer version found on device" or something to that effect.
Edit: The video in the link says you have to already be rooted to do this so no it won't work.
Not the first video, the 2nd one. Where it uses the sdk to push the files through.

This is correct! Verified on my thread and verified on my twitter.
Changelog for OTA 2.29.405.2:
- New radio - 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 (EddyOS)
- New version of Flash than 2.10.405.2 (EddyOS)
- New Facebook app version 1.4.1 (jobalz)
- New "Related" tab in the Market (arewenotmen)
- New "Group message" button in Messages (milosmeda)
Finally, there are not much changes found yet and I'm wondering why this update was released. I was expecting the new Sense, but maybe this update is just to update the radio, because the new Sence requires it. Just a thought.
So if anybody saw a difference please post, so we can gather all changes in one place.
PS. I did not wanted to use the other post because too much offtopic in it.
PS2. Let's keep the post for changes only.
PS3. If you have root and apply the OTA update you may face problems. Read before doing it.
- New radio - 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
- New(er) version of Flash than 2.10.405.2
That's literally all I've noticed
- problem with battery on 90% when yout put off the charger in the morning is gone now.
new facebook app
Is it (facebook app) newer than the one on the marketplace?
Not in the RUU. Was 1.3.2 and Market is now 1.4.1
I would have thought the only likely thing updated about facebook would be something like the friendstream/facebook linking things...
Did you notice earlier in the world clock tool (after clicking on clock) you can see in which cities you have set is the night (black hour) or day (white)?

I rooted my phone but I kept the original ROM.
It might be a stupid question but still:
Is this OTA going to upgrade HBOOT and unroot my phone?
Yes and it will also screw your phone up leading to a hard reset and losing all your data. You shouldn't apply an OTA to a rooted ROM
Ok, dont want to ask a stupid question but here goes...
I have just updated to this OTA update and now my wifi is not working, its just saying error...
My phone is not rooted, I used the gold card method to flash a htc rom, without the orange bloatware my phone came with...
I have done a couple of OTA updates with no problem, the only issue I had one is that the baseband(i think??) got changed and I had to buy an unlock code to make it recognise my sim !
Any ideas on this?
Okay. My mobile is rooted with official ROM.
Now i pressed update to 2.29.blabla.
Would this brick my desire?
My screen is now like this after auto restart for update:

How many more times does it need to be said!?!?!?! Seriously??
you also need a gold card for ALL updates if you had to use one to debrand

No, 0.93 isn't new ver of HBOOT so you'll be able to root it again with unrevoked.

It has been said more than enough but no one would read it.
For the second question - did you see the title of this thread?
Edit: This thread is turning into a chat
Can someone monitor the heat before & after the upgrade? If it didn't fix the 2.2 Desire overheating problem, this upgrade feels useless to me.
I see a new setting for VPN. Was this already there or is it new?
Hi, First off I am a complete noob to this and probably should of read which apps wouldn't work before I did this. Also i apologise if this has been posted elsewhere.
Basically I have unlocked my bootloader, then flashed TWRP and then flashed the Android Revolution Rom. I have then gone to install the barclays banking app (Im on o2 in the UK btw) and it says it cannot be used with a rooted device. This app is a lifesaver for me with the amount of money going out so i can keep an eye on it.
I have read into the RUU applications to be used after locking the bootloader but as far as i am aware they are not available yet. So basically my question is is there a way to go to 100% complete stock? so i can use the app.
Thanks in advance. Please remember i am a noob so please be clear if its technical haha :fingers-crossed:
Check my thread in my signature, check also post #2 it has a flashable zip to unroot the device !

Thanks for your quick reply, I have checked my software number and it is 1.54.401.5, so seeing that someone has put in a flashable zip on their post after yours does that mean i can use that? also im on o2 in the uk does this affect it? and when i run the zip in twrp does that unroot my phone?
Sorry for being so useless in this haha
EDIT: All done now flashed one of the recoveries that you have in your thread and worked a treat cheers.
Hello Mr Hoffs, I have seen your stock rom recovery page, plenty there, unfortunately none for mine.
I was wondering if you had any idea where I could get hold of cid 2___001 and a version main of 1.54.206.10 for my o2 HTC M8 please?
I have an unrooted phone with a constant nag about an OTA security update which I can't apply, this is very frustrating and much more awkward than rooting my S3 or N5 ever was.
Thanks in advance!
