HTC Desire Z on Bell update 1.84.666.2 - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, don't be too harsh my first post here. Did a search and couldn't find anything on it. Just logged on the the HTC site and apparently there is an update to 1.84.666.2 for the HTC Desire Z on Bell. My phone is currently on 1.34.666.5 and when I check for update the phone says there are no updates available.
Would gfree work with this new update? Should I be upgrading to it now or wait until development is done on it.
Can't post outside links since I am a new user, but it is on the HTC site / ca / support / desirezbell / downloads /
Thanks guys.

ROMs 1.72 and up and not yet rootable, which includes the 1.84. So I would stay away.

If you're rooted and want a newer ROM, try the Virtuous custom ROM. Its based on 1.85, plus some extra features.

if you used gfree, id go with cm7 nightly. its almost rc3 and its by far the best rom I've used and I've tried em all. stay away from stock roms if your gfree.

Can I get stock Froyo on Telus Desire ??

Can I get stock Froyo rom on Telus Desire ?
I have already rooted 2.1 that's on it, if that makes a difference.
I have no interest in running a custom rom since the stock (2.2) one has everything I need...
I'm also wondering the same thing actually.
I've been looking into upgrading to this ROM, since it's claimed to be 'stock':
[ROM] Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 (FroYo) ROM [Market issue fixed]
It won't let me post a link, but its in the Desire Android Development page
I think that's the one I found but it said you have to wipe...
I just want to upgrade and keep my existing data

I answered my own question.
Modaco (where I'm also premium) has more information on the subject... I rooted a week or so ago and modaco has the stock Froyo with radio and already rooted rom.
So I just downloaded that and applied update, I didn't even wipe before since I didn't want to lose my data.
Anyways problem solved.
also just picked up the desire , on rogers and was hoping to upgrade to 2.2, I had the hero before and it was a little more clear cut back then, but Im not sure to wait for official or just root and get stuff started,
NEed HELP

[Q] What is the best way to root htc desire z?

Hi
I know that this was discussed many times.
but could you tell me what is the easiest/safer way to root/S-off htc desire z?
All posts I can find are quite old.
Thanks
Wiki method is considered by most here to be the safest.

I'm not rooted. If I have upgraded to 2.3.3 can I still use the gfree v0.5 method?

If you want to be rooted, I'd stay away from any official updates. No official updates have been rootable for some time. And I think people that have updated to the official Gingerbread T-Mobile G2 ROM are having trouble even downgrading in order to root. There is a pre-rooted (but otherwise "official") G2 T-Mobile Gingerbread ROM posted in the Development section. If you want the Sense GB ROM, you should wait until a pre-rooted version is posted here. You would still need to root and gfree in order to flash either of those.
Thanks RedPoint. Going to hold off for now. I love the official gingerbread. I just want screenshot and over-clocking capability.

1.28 Software Update?

Hi guys. Iv had my One X for about 2 weeks now and over the last few days I have been rooting it and looking a different Roms. Basically I am with T-Mobile and they still haven't released the 1.28 software. I am wondering if there is anyway to get the update myself rather than waiting on them? My phone is rooted can I'm currently running LeeDroid 4.0.0

I think you can update your firmware to 1.28.401.9 (Europe Firmware) here you would need to add your CID to the list. Have a look, read the instructions thoroughly before you start.
Can't be done, you HAVE to be running x.xx.401.x - you can't debrand without S-OFF
As the OP is running LeeDroid (which is based on 1.28) then you're better off sticking with that

[Q] Updating HTC One X - CID: OPTUS001

Hello~
I've been trying for the past gawshdamn three hours to enable my phone to run Google's Jelly Bean software... but to no avail.
It's been a long time since I last rooted my phone and did all the technical actions; so I'm fairly behind on what to do and all.
First off, this is my current Software Information from Settings:
Android Version
4.0.3
HTC Sense Version
4.0
Software Number
Android Revolution HD 6.0.0 by mike1986
The phone is from Optus and I've rooted it and installed the custom rom.
My attempt:
I've tried to install the Optus OTA which I found...Only to find that it would be stupid to update an official OTA on a custom ROM.
I then tried looking for a custom ROM and found that there is none available for my model?
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997542)
So I want to ask...
How do I update my phone to the JellyBean with Sense? Or is this option even available to me?
If no... how can I update my phone to the Jellybean without sense?
This is giving me such a headache tonight
I would appreciate help,
Thanks!
In the general section, go to stock cid backups thread and download the nanodroid backup for Optus. Then restore it on cmw recovery. This should get you back to stock.
And JB for Optus hasn't been released yet. It's eta is mid December but I highly doubt there will not be delays. The original eta was early December.

[Q] Root needed for Official HTC Desire RUU ROM

Hi,
I have HTC Desire HD mobile, with official HTC RUU ROM, I would like to root this device without losing this official release. Can anyone help Me in this?
As previous I installed other ROM, Revolution 7.1 , but My Camera Result was disturbed which I liked the most in DHD, so I revert it, and now I wanted root access in this Official Release,
as Ace kit is not working for this version, and force me to downgrade it first.
Advance thanks to you guys.
