GGGrate question about the official 2.3 - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to root it? I don't want to see it unrootable after it's updated.
PS: I ask this question doesnt mean I have received the update

Kinda hard to say when it isn't out yet? It's probably not rootable because it's quite hard to root everything from 1.72 and up already.

Are we not confusing Android and Firmware versions here?

It doesn't change the fact that Android 2.3 update will have a higher firmware version than 1.72 and will probably be unrootable.

True enough.

Thanx for all your replies!
But that makes think whether to update or not when there is a update available.
A lot of apps cannot be used if updated

You can always wait for the devs to make a custom rom from the update.

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.

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

[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.

I can't believe people still believe in that developer-not-official bull****. It was marked as a "developer version" only because it's available only as a RUU. And everything that was released by HTC is official.

i agree the gb ruu is official..but they released gb only to say "we released the gb update as u wished"..no more updates on that will come..is like a discontinued version...infact now they are releasing an ota that is going to patch the last official rom for the desire: froyo
Which will be most probably the last version as well.

I am guessing this again is only flashable for people with the right CID.

I think we should lock the hboot before flashing again.Maybe it will work for you.But don't take my words.
I also noticed the size is small.Is this a full ROM ?
its not official. is there any one who can try this? any hope for non support cids
THANKS ...

Yea i noticed that too. Considering most roms are nearer 600-650 mb.
Probably because it's an OTA, not a full ROM.. Just my guess anyways.
EDIT: If you have a look at the previous 2.17.401.2 OTA, this was only 148.13MB. And looking at the filename, you need to be on this version in order to update to this OTA (i.e. 2.17.401.2 to update to 3.09.401.100)

So we should lock the hboot,flash 2.17 and then this OTA(3.09)
But my hboot is now 1.23. Is it possible to return to 2.17 ?

I would not do anything, till someone with better knowledge can confirm what build this is. OTA yes. Can it be flashed Y/N Etc. I would wait.

From what I have read, and understand, no - you can't return to the 2.17 ROM's if you've updatd to the new 1.23 hboot.
