Could someone please clarify what is the latest HTC Desire HD software version for the UK please?
I have recently bought a HTC Desire HD a few days ago and the version on my brand new sim free DHD is 1.32.405.6 with no updates showing when attempting to search for an update via OTA.
Thing is I notice talk of a 1.72 build on this forum and was wondering have other DHD owners in the UK had this update yet or what exactly is the situation with newer software in the UK?
Also theres some other talk of this newer version being pulled? Just really trying to clarify what exactly is happening as I have read in the newer build battery life on the DHD has improved and this would be very welcome as with any other enhancements.

1.72 was removed by HTC as it seemed to be having some issues, especially with SD cards, the battery life improvements are down to the newer radio which can be found here, a quick caution newer OTA upgrades patch the exploit that is used to gain root so if you anticipate wanting to root your DHD and flash customs roms best to avoid them.

Thanks very much for clarifying, I was wondering why there was no update showing as people on here were talking about 1.72 and I have 1.32 with no updates showing.
I have rooted my DHD with visionary only to get Screen shot working and have done S-OFF only to get Adfree working.
I have got Rom Manager installed with Clockworkmod but haven't installed any custom roms as this is a brand new phone for me and to be honest I'm happy with the stock look of the phone. I only rooted and got S-OFF to get the two above things working. So basically when this 1.72 does come the root will be taken away I see.

hey guys, I got a desire and I'm new to android. so I have some questions:
1. my firmware is 1.19.707.7 and I know 1.21 is the lastest, but it says i have the newst one. what's wrong ? ( my Desire is unlocked and unbranded)
2. Froyo is coming to Desire this weekend, but how I know if I'll also get it? cause I heard only europe desire will get it.
3.How to root my Desire? I heard its different in 1.19.707.7 ?
4.My desire I think is from singapore, can I change the firmware to europe one ?
Thanks
1. There is nothing wrong. 1.19.707.7 is the latest Asia WWE rom.
2. The news was that Froyo is coming out this weekend across Europe (meaning Desire with EU roms) so you can't get it. At least not via OTA (but the real question is if it will actually get out).
3. Rooting method depends on bootloader version (at least paul's method).
Read about paul's method here and about unrevoked method here.
4. If you can flash custom roms, there shouldn't be a problem flashing different official rom.
First you have to root and then flash.
2.if I flash the europe official rom to my Desire, I'll also get OTA of Froyo?
3.my bootloader version is 0.80.0000
-Where is the paid applications? I can't find them in my desire, I see only free applications.
-If I flash to the official EU rom, I won't face any problems because it's official right? also My root will stay?
thanks man!
Hi, in my personal opinion, I think you will only get update if you r in Europe country plus your phone must be debranded and unlocked.
My htc desire is flash with the 1.21 HTC WWE roms and I'm in UK but I still can't get any update yet.
So i'm not sure whether or not the update is a false alarm to all of us.

Paid Android Market apps are available only in certain countries - list
Root will stay only if you flash pre-rooted official rom. But hey, unrevoked rooting method is very very simple so rooting again shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks!
just a question :
if I flash the europe official rom to my Desire, I'll also get OTA of Froyo?
Because Froyo has support of my language and I must it

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
@dhiral.v & droidhd
Many thanks for the information Hope HTC would roll out soon the update!

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,
I have searched the Forum and so far not found a definitive answer. I have only just got my phone secondhand and I know that there is supposed to be an automatic update to sense 3 and gingerbread. However, I think my phone has been switched off for the last few weeks. Therefore, I was wondering if I have missed the update or has it still not been released in the UK. My phone was locked to T-Mobile, but has been unlocked and is now on Tesco (O2). I have checked the update option in the settings and it says that my phone is up to date, but I have read that this can also give a false reading. I will probably root my phone at some later date, but don't want to just yet, but would obviously like to run the latest official software. Any advice as to whether I have missed the update or not and what to do if I have would be very welcome.
Many thanks
Ian
The Sense 3.5 Update is not officialy released for the HTC Desire HD. It's only ported to the desire hd by custom roms.
(Don't shoot me if i'm wrong)
Cheersss
He / she was referring to the Sense 3 OTA update, not 3.5, from HTC. The last time I checked myself I was told there were no updates but if you look in the Desire HD development forum there is a post about a clean (ie no tweaks or customisation) and flashable file.
The desire hd does not recieve the sense 3 update because of the single core processor and as it is not a new phone. You can only get it through custom firmwares
Hello all,
I've absolutely loved my Desire HD running Android Revolution but I've just been offered a free upgrade to a better handset. And I need to get it back to stock as soon as possible for warranty purposes. However I neither backed up the ROM nor took down any particulars. So any help you might have concerning the required settings, ROM and radio would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks!
PV.
What you need to do is find the Three RUU for your handset, this is probably the quickest and easiest way to return the phone to stock. If you get the Super S-off tool then you will be able to go back to s-on. (unless this was done by the RUU)
The other thing to bear ni mind is that if your RUU installer says that the upgrade is not for your phone then you may need to change the CID from the super CID to Three AU CID.
Good luke
Thanks! Does anyone here have a link to the stock ROM? I'm looking at this one right now but it seems older:
Ace_Hutchison-Three-Network_AU_1.32.861.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M_Clockwork-BACKUP.7z
