OTA update Question

Hi there
I just recently signed a contract with orange for the Desire.
Last Night I got rid of there crappy firmware and installed the stock Bravo firmware.
My question is, if an over the air update is released for froyo 2.2 what will happen? Will my phone download the Orange firmware 2.2, Bravo 2.2?
Or will it not work now and i will have to manually update using a downloaded firmware.
Thanks
Dion.

is it really an issue for you ??

Well yeah of course it is. I dont want to download the update over the air if its going to be Orange firmware. But if it uses HTC Generic Firmware then I will download over the air.
What happened to the help in this forum?

if you flashed a generic non branded rom ill guess you get a generic non branded froyo

ignore the noobs here they just have to learn

I am also interested in this aspect. If anyone has more experience with previous phones and OTA please share your experience.

thanks alot for replying. I guess i'll have to wait till froyo is out and someone does an upgrade.
Cheers

Possible root for official 2.1... (Confirmed not Working)

EDIT: It doesn't work, let's move on.
Just saw this now, apparently it works for all HTC 2.1 devices using the 'fake ota' method.
I will rewrite the guide here once someone has confirmed it works.
I can not and will not test this as I wasn't stupid enough to flash the official 2.1 RUU.

Once you get to clockwork mod recovery you should be able to flash a custom rom!

Reports on the guide website suggest that this will NOT work for HTC Hero users or in fact any phone which did not originally ship with v2.1 of Android.
I'd love someone to prove this wrong so keep trying but don't get your hopes up.

another explaination - not tested
here is another explaination to root cdma hera - don't know if it works or not, don't know if it's the same for gsm hero

I just wan't to make it more clear to my self. If I understood you ppl right, there is no possible way to root official GSM 2.1? Or am I wrong?
And does anyone know, how fast we will get rooted GMS EU 2.1 after it is released? Fast thing to do?
Also first part of OTA (YouTube update), i hope it didn't take ability to root from me?

There is no known way, yet.
There are already rooted GSM custom rom's based upon the 2.1 releases which have happened so far. It takes dev's a few hours from release usually to get them into the public domain.

If you installed the latest ota just downgrade & root.
For rooting the europe 2.1 I aim to be as fast as last time but it depends on when it is released.

You mean if I installed this "YouTube" OTA update and have 2.73.405.93, i have to downgrade? Even if this is still 1.5?

Well then IMO you have to add to your guide.
"First, you need to downgrade your ROM to 2.73.xxx.x"
Like: "Also downgrade 2.73.405.93, even if it starts with 2.73...".
Btw: If I would flash Part 2 OTA update, 2.1 andoird, would it be as easy as now, to downgrade?

You can't downgrade once you flash part 2 as the version will change from 2.73.xxx.xx
Yeah I do need to change that, I just couldn't remember it when I was writing it!

Offering Money to Fix Phone 2.2

Hello,
I am willing to offer someone 20USD if they can tell me how to fix my HTC desire. I was running on a Asia ROM which was upgraded to a Euro one so i could update. Upon updating to 2.2 I have no wifi, or SD and "process system" keeps crashing
The details of the phone are:
Model A8181
OS: 2.2 (from OTA)
Baseband: 32.36.00.28U_406.00.02_2
Kernel: 2.6.29-0cb9f166
Build is 2.09.405.8
Please Help Me.

You need to flash the newest radio, should fix all your problems.
You're using a radio from eclair (2.1).

With the 2.2 ota, im not sure if there is a way to downgrade, as I read one of the devs accidentally upgraded to an OTA release. This is due to the bootloader being updated to one that hasnt been hacked yet.
My 2 cents is hold tight and hope one of the devs figures a way to downgrade, that way you could install a custom 2.2 which doesnt have these issues.
Good luck, sorry i couldnt be of much use :/
EDIT- i completely missed that flakz0r lol, can it still be flashed through recovery if he used a 2.2 OTA update? if so http://android.adamg.co.uk/bravo/radio/32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip

you still have the older 2.6.29 kernel too
flash the radio to the latest and flash one of the 101 roms people are releasing based on the new ota 2.2 as that should update your kernel

Did you download the ota update, or have you got root and installed one of roms on this forum? If it's ota I dont see how your radio can be the one you've stated. If it's a rom from the forum flash the new radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip

I dont know, but it should be possible. Also, the official OTA update comes with the new radio, so i dont understand how he was able to update the rom but not the radio. That is assuming he isnt rooted, of course.

I just fixed something like this today. It's a bit of an involved process though. Send me a pm so we can talk via IM.

I flashed one of the stock roms from here to get it to be a euro one instead of asia.

Yeah, you just need the radio. Put it on your sdcard and flash it like you flashed the rom. Dont touch your phone, let it work, takes a while.

so....who got the 20 dollars?

lol i think it should be falkz0r he was the first to provide a solution...
btw...he managed to go from asian to european version through goldcard and the RUU file. Done that to my previous Hero too.

I got him through the entire process using teamviewer and MSN. Still haven't got the $20 though....
And flashing a radio isn't a solution

Wasnt expecting to receive anything, XDA is a place to share knowledge and help each other. I expect people to help me too when i'm in trouble.

[Q] upgrade 1.84.832.2 ????

Ok just coming from HD2 running CM7 2.3.4 (flashed a lot of roms on them)
Just got a DHD (yesterday) - has build 1.84.832.2 on it and stuck with Android 2.2.1.
Missing 2.3.4 and no official upgrade yet for HK version.
Questions
How can i root this phone (visionary+ does not appear on market)
is there anyway to upgrade to an official 2.3 rom from another region?

Yes, you can root the phone, but since you have 1.84 FW, you need to downgrade.
Once you downgrade, you can then install CWM recovery and flash different ROMs
*for downgrade guide - CLICK HERE
*for official ROM sources - CLICK HERE (files by andy, credit goes to him)

sorry but u answered the same thing like me but with another words....

uuuuhhhh...no, not really,
i provided a link to RUUs and a downgrade guide
did you provide a link to the RUU?

Semantics aside - thanks. to both of you.

Quite familiar with HD2 rooting and flashing.
have put adw launcher on it and it feels a bit more like home.

[Q] Manually update to stock 2.3?

Hey guys, im looking for a friend of mine how to update a desire from 2.2 to 2.3, he doesnt get an update if he goes to about phone -> check for updates (it says its latest version), so i was wondering if there is a method to flash the update over cable on the phone. to be clear, he would like the stock 2.3 from htc not cyanogenmod or custom roms.
thanks for the help guys

Its not out yet. If your friend has a branded Desire, it will take longer for the update to go through because carriers are like that. If it's unbranded then the update should come through straight away.
Swyped...

thank you very much, i searched for that ont he internet and mostly it said coming may so i was confused... thanks anyways guess he needs one of the custom roms ^ ^

There are plenty of 2.3 custom roms but he will need to root the phone first.
Otherwise you have to wait as above!

Ye, thanks, checked them a bit.
