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.

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?

So my problem is i am not getting any OTA the one i want is 2.3.5 sense 3 i have a htc desire hd whch was branded on t mobile uk i rooted it then downloaded a ruu from shipped roms which was WWE and also signed. Problem is im not getting to sense 3 which rolled out a couple of months ago but when i flashed the ruu i did get a ota which was related to navigation so my OTA. Does work problem is i am not getting the recent update from 2.3.3. I am aware that not all desire hd phones got the update and because u got the international stock rom mayne thats the problem the only solution i can think of is can someone give me the ruu for 2.3.5 sense 3.0 because it isnt avalible on shipped roms ir can someone give me the stock rom of 2.3.3 t moble uk which isnt on shipped roms.
You can try AAHK using revert to stock WWE. You should revert to unroot to get OTA to sense 3.

The wwe sense 3.0 is on shipped roms website. Its the last one listed.
Plus here's another link where I have it hosted.
marsdta.minus.com
You want the 3.12.405
You have to use RUU file on rooted DHD. OTA will not work, process stop with triangle when it find modyfied bootloader and can not pass.
RUU (same ROM but different ext) works perfect by USB
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!

Current versions:
Android 2.2

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
Had my One x since a couple of weeks after it came out, best phone i've had yet. but i'm on a three branded phone, should of got an unbranded one off amazon i know. Since 3 are useless at giving out updates, i want to root my phone, which i know i can do as i had a desire HD rooted this and swapped roms about once a week.
What i want to know is if i can put the latest rru or ota 1.29.401.12 on with S-lock on so i can have the latest htc firmware on my one x and solve all the problems like loss of single and the storage issue?
Thanks
Fraid not, until we get s-off you have to use correct ruu.
You can always use a custom Rom based on the latest release

thats what i thought, so rooted and put arhd 8.1.0 on newer than the ota's. hopefully will be better battery life and solve the memory issues. Nearly as easy as a Derire HD to root.
