So I have my phone, and I have a pc. I've got a data plan on my phone, but no tethering because its not rooted. I can't download the official froyo update. Sad sad I know. Is there a way to download it using my phone?
Been waiting for the update forever and when I got the notification that I needed a pc to make it happen, it broke my heart.
Thanks in advance!
(I can put the update on my pc and all after I download it with my phone. Basically just need a link to download that isn't from the HTC site. Need the Update AND the other thing.)

Currently the only known way to install the update is through the PC via HTC Sync.

you can go to the htc page from the browser of your phone and download the files, then copy the files to your pc and follow the instructions.

Hi all,
I have the flash that came with the Froyo update on my phone.
But when I open the market I also see the flash for download.
Is there a difference in the too?
When there is an update for flash how do I get it? since the current flash is not being recognized in the market.
BTW the one in the market is newer.
Thanks

You need to download the flash from the market as this is indeed the update. Once you have done it the market will recognise you have flash and then you will be notified of further updates. It's the same story with the Facebook app.
Thanks

Put it on your what? xD But I'll wait here for you.
Ste,
you should be able to get it now from http://91.109.1.220/nand/
let me know if you're able to download it.
Ah right thanks for the download.
Ah great it's still not working :/ I have had it working loads but it refuses now
Bootloop?
I'm guessing it depends on what is in the OTA update that's flashed on top of the existing setup.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yea but usually if I flash the froyo update a couple of times it gets rid of clockwork mod recovery maybe I need a newer nandroid.
After I get rid of clockworkmod I can usually flash the update again and it removes bootloops.
The nand I've tried with was taken just before the last update. So, no updates missed.
For the future, if there's anyone out there running a rooted upto date Orange handset, please take a nand and share.
Then, when another update comes through, we can try again
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Well it used to work I'm just confused why it doesn't now.
And you've tried your old nand and update?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I put my old nand on flash the update and all that happens is that it sits on the htc logo after I reboot when the update.zip has finished installing.
Is that with the old update? Not the most recent?
If so, that's weird as its worked before....
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yea I put the old one on first then kinda update with the next .zip then the bnext one. The 2.17.61.2 update usually removes the clockworkmod recovery.
Does your phone work with the 2.17.61.2 update? Without applying the most recent ota? But still with clockworkmod.

Don't have the link but you need hboot drivers. I thought you could find the on unrevoked site.

Those are the drivers you need
Not letting me post hyperlinks so just copy paste into browser.
you need to turn usb debugging on and ensure u run the program as administrator
1. Before you do anything, uninstall htc-sync from your pc but do not uninstall the driver.
2. Install the H-boot driver from unrevoked site. (run the installation as administrator)
3. Enable usb debugging mode on your Desire.
4. Connect the Desire to your PC.
5. Run unrevoked and wait untill finish.
6. After rooting is done, you can have your HTC-Sync back if you want it.

Is there no market icon or does it just FC?
If there is no icon you need to flash the Gapps.
There's no apps affiliated will google whatsoever. I flahed the cyanogen mod 7 successfully.
Could you please explain what gapps are and where I can find them and how to install thanks in advance

Purchased a used G2 on ebay - phone was rooted and I believe CM7 installed - clockworkmod came up and I tried to install a custom rom and was only getting white HTC screen.
At this point I really just want the latest official gingerbread 2.3.4 on the phone (even if it means getting an original stock rom then getting the OTA update thru t-mobile). I don't care if its rooted or not. (Picture of HBOOT screen attached below)
What is the easiest and fastest way to do this from what I have on my phone at this point? If I just factory reset from this menu will I still have to get a stock a rom and put it on my sdcard?
Just flash the rooted version from the dev thread dude

Either that or if you don't care about root, flash pc10img of ota gb.

I have a rooted htc desire, with stock rom, but with clockworkmod. Today, I received a notification that a new ota update is out. I understand that I will lose my root, but is it safe to update through ota? Will it replace the custom recovery?
I already have problems with cwm. It doesn't work... it says that it can't mount cache, and I can't flash anything with it, nor make a factory data reset.
Is there a risk my phone will get bricked?
I really want this 3.0 update.
So...is it safe to update?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
Download the update first. Before installing it, upload it here and let's have a look at it. Btw, its highly unlikely that the update is 3.0

Tell me if the download works.
And I was talking about the new Htc sense 3.0. Did you see how cool ot looks? XD

Thanks. I'm taking a look and will try to get you a flashable zip for rooted phones tomorrow. Can you upload your system/build.prop after renaming it to system/build.prop.txt ?
This is the build.prop.txt

This is a rooted OTA update for 2.29.405.5 which upgrades it to 2.29.405.14. To be applied by people who've rooted their phones, but havent applied any custom rom. It's a collection of binary patches for 2.29.405.5 firmware. Applying it should be safe in the sense that it shouldnt disturb your recovery/kernel.
This has not been tested on my phone, and hence is an alpha at the moment. Follow usual precautions like taking Nandroid backup before applying.

Thanks, anything juicy in that OTA?
No way to know unless someone installs it and sees. There should have been been a description in the original OTA notice.
