Last night, I bought a new HTC Desire Z. After that, I received a notification said that there's a software update, its version is 1.75. So I updated is through wifi and now it's running version 1.75. I've read around and some people say that I must have version 1.34 or 1.72 If I want to get root.
I really want to get rood and install recovery to upgrade to custom roms. Anybody help me how to downgrade or the new way to get root on my phone?
Thanks all for reading.
Could you go to about phone and see if your running Android 2.3.3?

Hi, everyone. I just received notification for upgrading my desire to Froyo.
But i have one query.At the time I bought Desire, I had used goldcard to install WWE ROM on my desire. I just want to ask that upgrading over the air to froyo wont create a problem in the device?
Sorry if the question is noobish. I am very new to android..
Thanks
Accepting this OTA update will lock your phone down. You will lose root and will have to jump through hoops to get it back.
If you are running a custom ROM or plan to at some point, ignore the update and turn off the check option.
Thanks fr the reply...
I have not rooted my desire. i just created the goldcard to be able to install the official HTC UK ROM as i had bought myfone frm singapore. Should I still wait?
And what can be the path to be be to get the froyo update?
Thanks
I had a Telstra branded phone which I did the same as you with except I rooted it before then deciding to install the WWE 2.1 Rom. Following this I updated to froyo (manually because of wasn't offering through ota update) and now have a perfectly working official 2.2 desire.
I'm not sure about rooting once on 2.2 but you don't sound like you want to root anyway so I say go for it.

Ok, i have installed the latest update for my HTC Desire HD. Which updated Android to 2.2.1, and also other things i have been told such as bootloader which has stopped the 1 click rooting from working.
My question is, is there anyway around this? Is there still a way to root my phone as i really would like to install a custom rom etc.
Thanks.
Reading just a bit around in similar threads should answer this for you
Oh, and it case it doesn't answer your question, I will: No, no root for stock 2.2.1 for now.
no root for you
should of read up before you run the update
Damn it. Do you guys think it will come in the future or...
Who knows. I wouldn't hold my breath though.

Hello guys
My friends DHD had mainboard changed (warranty) but now he is not able to receive even gingerbread update. so the guy has to stick with Froyo for now. He does not want to get root just the the regular updates
At software menu it says that phone is up to date haha
Any suggestions?
is it possible to force an update? (if it is not getting gingerbread so I doubt that he gets ICS later on)
Regards
To be honest I'd root it...do it for him if he's worried about it...his main boards been changed neways lol so I doubt begging else will happen..there's loads of benefits to rooting her neway

What is your friends firmware version? Not android version, but the HTC Firmware.
Should look something like. x.xx.xxx.x - e.g. 1.32.405.6
Software version 2.50.405.2
Kernel 2.6.35.10
Baseband 12.54.60.25U_24.09.04.11
Hope will do any help
Anyhow the question is if (even phone is rooted) it is possible to apply updates without changing ROM?
I have rooted my phone and already tried a bunch of ROMs (currently using Revolution HD 6.3.1) but thats not for my friend. As she wants to have regular HTC rom and get updated version of software.
thanks again
If your looking for a fairly clean rom try leedroids he only works with official releases...there's a list in the Dec section of purely stock Roms bit just rooted I'd go there..If its a lady I'd try the bliss Roms they were designed for the woman apparently lol

thanks arknailed7754 for your post
though my main question still remains if it is possible to force update to original rom. (rooting is not a problem)
regards
Froyo was 2.2..gingerbread started at 2.3 so he's over the original release..I think you can apply the update through adb..with an official ruu. I'm not as knowledgeable as some on here but that's how you can push the phone to the new update..the official are also in Dec section..there's probably a guide in there if you need help applying,surprised he can update though HTC released the official sense 3.0 etc last year q4.
As I said I might be talking out of my ass but go to Do a search in Google with your keywords its in there..

If your unrooted & don't want root, just want to update to the latest firmware then download the RUU in this post -->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22871910&postcount=33
Before you run it, make sure you've got HTC Sync installed (for the USB drivers).
Your current firmware is a WWE x.xx.405.x and matches that of the update posted 3.12.405.1. You should update with no issues. It will however wipe your device, so make sure you backup what you can before you run the RUU.
Thanks for your help.
Will try as soon as get my hends on friends phone.
Will post results.
Thanks again

I had the same problem with my DHD. Whenever I connected to WiFi, I never got the update. What I did was when I connected my DHD to PC, I selected "Internet Passthrough". And voila, I got a message a few minutes later that an update to Gingerbread is available. Try this and I hope this will resolve the problem.
Hello,
After my first HTC Desire Z broke i got a new one (second hand) yesterday. The phone was not used for a long time and still was running Android 2.2, for some reason i do not get the over-the-air update to 2.3.3 it simply tells me there are no updates available. After browsing some forums i see many links to htcdev.com where the update should be available for download... well it is not there anymore..
Has/had anyone the same problem and does anyone know how i can get my phone to Android 2.3.3?
Thanks in advance!
tijn
Current versions:
Android 2.2
Build: 1.34.405.5
I think it's better to root the phone, not update, and u don't have to downgrade for rooting. Think about root instead
Thanks for your quick reply, i thought about rooting the phone but i'd rather have it with the stock firmware. I'm affraid i might break it somehow.
So my original question still stands
Hello everyone,
i would like to switch my Desire HD back to the delivery status. (No Root, S-on ...) because i want to give it to my girlfriend and she doesn´t need the special software.
I think i found a why to do the reset ( only in German:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/anleitu...sicherung-s-off-fuer-das-dhd.html#post1197635 )
My question is now: if i reset all, will i be able to make automaticle updates from htc? because i heard about a new update (i think sense4.0 and anroid 4.0) coming sone for DHD.
I hope someone can give me an answer or tell me how it would work
Thanks
Honestly there is no reason to go back fully son. I would just flash the 3.12.405 ruu. You will still get the ics update whenever it shows up.
But if you want son use the ace hack kits bact to stock option- though again not needed unless for warranty purposes

If there will be an ICS upgrade how could I upgrade to it without loosing root?

Yep! i also want to roll back to original ROM , but i dont want to loose root.
So know i want to know if it is possible ?

You can try ota rootkeeper from android market. It makes a backup from of the Su binary so you can restore root after ota(when and if ICS come to Desire HD).
