Could someone please help us "HTC Desire HD users" who have not been able to update our phone to 2.2.1 specially those purchased in Middle East.

Apparently HTC has pulled off the 1.72 updates as a lot of people were having problems with the SD card failing. I believe HTC are working on another OTA to fix it and will be rolling out soon.
I belive update was removed from HTC and it was removed with reason. You should read this link for more informations. I am as well on 2.2 only, but as I saw how many problems were there with 1.72 OTA update, I am glad that I didn`t get that update

Many thanks for the information Hope HTC would roll out soon the update!

I hope you realize there's a good chance you won't be able to root after you install this?
Downloading froyo 2.2 now from Asia. HK purchase from Australia. I'm sure they will find a way to root it...eventually.
you will lose root and can not force the apps to be installed on SD.
hi
where can i download htc desire asia version froyo update (i am using an india version. but it cannot see any update from air)
thanks!
My friend has HTC Desire Asian edition.
When manually checking continually it says that phone is up-to-date.
How do we update to Froyo?
Note: We are doing this over WIFI and we can't connect to Gtalk
you sure you're not already rooted or on custom firmware? if yes you wont get the updates

OTA is going to take a while... Over The Air update is only possible when HTC releases the update theru the carrier that you are on.. in your case.. when Airtel agrees with HTC to release, only then you will have the OTA update to 1.72... officially.. yes unofficially u can get it... but be careful, if you do the 1.72 update you wont be able to root your device.. YET!
Cheers!
I got my Desire HD from UK and its updated to 1.72, my carrier is Vodafone.
I didn't buy my phone from Airtel so I don't think I gotta wait for Airtel to approve the update .

I asked HTC India and this is their reply
To clarify your issue, you stated that: You want to know the launch date of Android 2.2.1 for HTC desire HD.
In this regard we would like to intimate you that.Android 2.2.1 currently is no such information when Android 2.2.1 will launched in India. When it will available in India then you can find on HTC India web site. www.htc.com/in

Did you get the update through Vodafone, while in India? Or did you get the update while in UK?

Mate , only if your phone is locked to a carrier is when you gotta wait for the Carrier ( Vodafone, O2 , T-Mobile) to release the software update. For users in country like India , the updates are never dependant on the carrier.
For example , i bought my Google Nexus One from the United States unlocked . The moment Google released 2.2 and 2.2.1 i got the OTA update on my phone.
Its just that HTC India hasnt released the update for DHD's , btw dont waste your time by asking HTC India , they are useless.
I guess its better to play the waiting game.
Its gonna take a while for the update in INDIA!
The problem z HTC INDIA is different from HTC Asia!
So we need 2 get a seperate update from HTC!
As far as I know 1.72 got pulled from all markets due to bugs. If this is correct I don't think you will ever see 1.72 officially as htc develops are now hard at work and focussed on Gingerbread.
Sent from my Desire HD pocket rocket.
The 1.72 update and the 1.8 update was not released in India.
Rather we will see a direct update to Gingerbread so you need not worry about 2.2 updates.

I don't think that DHD is sold in India locked to the service providers. All DHDs are unlocked. So as soon as India -specific region update comes up they will pass it on through OTA.

Hey,
I've been waiting for a long time for the 2.3 update on my DHD and I still have not received an update to my phone, i was wondering if anyone has come across this issue and if there is a way to manually apply the update without rooting the phone.
My android version currently is 2.2.1 and software number is 1.84.832.2
any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

While you are waiting for a reply here (unfortunately I don't know the answer) you could try sending an email to HTC.
They may will be able to help you
HTC rolls out the OTA update region by region, with exception to some countries. 1st, by following above suggestion, do check your region whether they have launched the OTA update. 2nd, if you do want to update, at least turn the ENG S-OFF, as latest 2.50 is not rootable or downgradable (this way you can revert to older builds).

Got it, country is Norway....
Good news for you, HTC just now begins to roll out 2.50.405.2 update to unbranded DHD in Europe, fixing the previous build wifi issues. [AndroidCentral]

I did send an email to HTC quite awhile ago, at first I thought the phone originated in hong kong. But after sending HTC the serial number of the phone they told me it originated from India. As far as i'm aware people from both India and Hong Kong have received this update already and HTC told me that I should receive the update based on where the phone originated from and yet I still have no update.
Hi Guys
A friend of mine is developing Android apps. He needs a 2.3.3 Android device for max. compatibility to test his apps. So I thought I could give him my old DHD. The problem is that there is currently CM7 installed. But he needs a device with a stock 2.3.3 Android Rom (unrooted!).
So I found this list with lots of RUUs.
Can someone tell me which I have to download? I need a 2.3.3 Rom without Sim-Lock and I live in Switzerland.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi f_enzo,
Thx for your answer.
The HTC Desire HD has received a new software update in December 2010, the Android 2.2.1 version 1.72.405.3 which brings various improvements and some bug fixes.[6] As of January 2011 the 2.2.1 v 1.72.405.3 software update was pulled due to issues with the HTC Sense overlay.[7]
During May 2011 in Western Europe, an over the air update updated unlocked, unbranded Desire HDs to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread and HTC Sense 2.1. On June 12 in Australia, an over the air update was available for unbranded Desire HDs taking them to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread with HTC Sense 2.1. On July 2011, HTC announced via Facebook that it was testing Gingerbread for branded Desire HDs and HTC released the update at the end of July. With the Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread Update, the Desire HD now has the ability to set Wi-Fi proxy settings which was not available previously with Android 2.2 Froyo and has Sense 2.1.
In September 2011 it was reported that HTC plan to update the Desire HD to Android version 2.3.5,[8] which would provide, for example, voice and video calling with Google Talk.
On December 16, 2011 in Europe, an over the air update updated unlocked, unbranded Desire HDs to Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread and HTC Sense 3.0.

If you read the article about the DHD on wikipedia then you will see that Sense 3.0 comes with 2.3.5 and I need 2.3.3. So I think that would be the wrong Rom.
Oh, sorry for my bad answer

Thank you very much. I also tried out some Roms and stuck to the one you suggested.
You can also change the language to german although it's written WWE (world wide english).
