they do say 3rd quater, thats august/september time, htc havent said anything about a timeframe thus far so this may be news lol
before it was second half of 2010, now it has become Q3 and i think that the htc legend wasn't included in the last announcement. (but to start yet another froyo topic because of this, no thank you, please next time post it in one of the countless others you can find around)
Why all these new treads about Froyo? It comes when it comes..
HTC Confirms 2.3 Desire Plans
Bit of a news flash here, sorry if it's in the wrong section but this is more of an anser to an un-asked question, y'get me?
Anyway, HTC confirmed yesterday that they WILL be updating the current Desire range upto 2.3. This includes the Desire, the Z and the HD. Hope this helps with the concerns that HTC were ditching the Desire for the Desire S.
For the rest of the information, check out this page.
The link goes to CNET
*It's likely that rather than being 2.3, the Desire will be getting 2.4, which is the latest release from Google. This is no different from 2.3 but contains some very minor bugfixes.
Nice! A bit long to wait though.
Thanks for the info!
wow thanx for the great news! made my day
i hope its worth waiting
when we will get it?

no problem, I was randomly searching the Internet for any articles that could shed any light on the current Desire situation we are all going through, and I just happened to find that neat post that was only put on there today. Alas the Desire lives on, I guess with it being so popular HTC decided to make it, however I'm not expert but from a Market view of things, I seriously doubt Honeycomb will be coming to the Desire range, as none boast dual processors and with the update coming so late, it would be a large Market downside for HTC, why develop Honeycomb for a device that's waited 6 months for a 2.4 update... Anyway I'm just glad that within my first few days of being at XDA that I have been able to help people with the Desire information, I know I only sourced it, but this stops a lot of peoples worries, and it looks promising that we WILL be getting the new sense time for a beer I think xD
We re starting to feel just like the Xperia X10 users and their updates it all goes according to HTC's plan. Nevertheless its good to know we'll be getting the new sense and and Android.

I think that the reaosn why it's taking so long really lies with Google. If they hadn't of had the 2.3 exclusivity with the Nexus S, then the chances are we would have our update much quicker. However HTC should be concentrating on Software just as much as new Products. Existing customers are just as important as potentially new Customers, and at the moment it looks like they are focusing their business on creating new products, and not updating the current ones. Not a good business plan at all.
with the way that our providers play about with it , as stated in the article it will be xmas before its out
I won't look forward to the update because waiting for updates ALWAYS dissappointed me in the past...

That's one of the benefits of De-branding. My HTC Desire came branded with the Orange software (which left me with 100MB of free space) I de-braded, updated to Froyo 2.2 and had something like 143MB of free space left, and whenever HTC release an update I immidiatley recieve it. My HTC has Orange logo's on it and everything, but it's de-branded.

Waiting is rubbish, HTC need to seriously take a good look at Customer Loyalty, but i'll wait HTC Sense is the best thing about the Desire.
Bah that is a long ass wait. I think I shall stick with CM7.

It's not the 2.4 update we can't wait for, its the new Sense, well in my case it is anyway. 2.3/4 isn't a very good update? It's a few icons and support for some other Hardware, Honeycomb should be interesting.
Can't wait!

You are aware that if the last OTA is anything to go by you won't be able to update without using an RUU? Even with a gold card

Hey everyone,
I went ahead and emailed HTC support asking about if there is plans to have our bootloader unlocked with a future software upgrade. I received a pretty canned response. Just thought I might share for those of you that don't have the time to email them yourselves.
Direct link to HTC email support added, please email them yourself!:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/e-mail
Dear Ryan, Thank you for registering your feedback in regards to HTC’s latest statement on bootloader policy. While the statement notes that locked bootloaders will not be occurring on future devices, the official policy is still being reviewed as it pertains to existing devices. Please keep an eye on www.htc.com and www.twitter.com/htc for the latest news.

Question on unlocking bootloader for Droid Incredible II.
Hello HTC,
I currently own a Droid Incredible and am considering purchasing and Incredible II. I am waiting to hear if you will include a way to unlock the bootloader at some point. A statement from HTC will go a long way in helping me decide on my next phone purchase...
Sincerely,
Scott

Unfortunately HTC will see you as a potential customer of a future device in this case. They will likely push you to a device that will be unlocked rather than a device that likely will not be. I'm not saying don't try it, just that you should expect that kind of response.
Sent mine, i'll post the response when i recieve it.
Let's hope we can get something started here. Here's the direct link to the email support page to make it that much easier for those of you that haven't sent one yet. If everyone that viewed this thread sent an email, it will surely make some difference...? Maybe?

I did specifically state that I wanted the Dinc II.. We'll see. If anything, HTC that we mean business with all of their devices.
I put in my email that i hadn't yet upgraded but i would likely switch to a different brand because thunderbolt was too big for me.
Guess what i got back? The exact same email that you did, word for word.
I think that if you send them a email with the word bootloader in it, you will get the same response. I sent one earlier today and I also have the same reply, word for word.
I think if we keep asking them to make their policy retroactive for all previously locked phones, they might give an official statement that they're releasing the update for all the phones, similar to how the fans got them to stop locking the bootloader.
i got a response from HTC that appeared to be a little more personalized:
"At this point in time, we don't have any information on if and how existing locked bootloaders will be unlocked (although I, for one, will be surprized if we just leave them as-is)."
Take that for whatever it may be worth...

I would be surprised if they weren't working on it now. They did it for the sensation and the DInc2 was the phone that really started the natives grumbling, so... It's a race Between hackers and htc. I would love an official, safe unlock but...

i just set my phone back to factory and updated it cuz i was goin to get the 3d today but my wife wants to use the upgrade cuz she hates her phone (epic) so now i want to root my phone back to the kingdom port is there a way to do this
No way to root the update unless you're still s-off. Why don't you get the 3d & give her your phone, then sell the Epic?

Yes there is!! Click your heels together three times and say to yourself...'theres nothing like a rooted evo...theres nothing like a rooted evo..theres nothing like a rooted evo...'.
Or, do a search...or even just glance at the Evo Q&A page for 12 seconds and you will see that this has been asked and answered endless times already.

I would just like to know they are working on it. TeamWIN for the 3V03D at least update us that they are doing something.
There is nothing from the Dev's for the Supersonic. So, maybe that's why we keep asking!
Internet Police, Search! LMFAO! Get a life.
been monitoring the irc channels for 2 days now, read yesterday that teamwin is working on it, and hboot got pwnd , they are working on a stable release...how true this is i cannot say , but this is the chatter ive seen on the channel, lets hope its coming soon , have patience all , these guys rock but they have lives also and they do this for free, so be mindful of this too

Well said... Hey people if you are still asking these questions then you have no clue how the Evo fourms work or for that matter xda. I have seen some other forums and this place gives you clear and well informed information. Great stickys and too me clear cut headers to let you know what roms have, last updates 4g no 4g as well as a host of other info. Also great OP info that outlines what to do, if any bugs, etc...
If you just come here and type a question especially one that is clearly all over these forums my suggestion to you is since you are waiting for your phone to achieve a root method why don't you just start to read up and learn about rooting flashing roms and kernels. You do this so hopefully you can help the community instead of filling the pages with repetitive questions and rants about why others who do this for free can't fulfill your needs fast enough.
Just My Thoughts....

That is actually not true, no one heard anything from them until they found a promising root method for the Evo 3D.
And it is the same for the Evo, mainly because their is no point in telling everyone something like, "tried that.....that didn't work, tried this......this didn't work either". So I seriously doubt you will hear anything from anyone until someone finds an exploit that works.

Also keep in mind that these are security exploits. They can't keep them hidden forever, as HTC can basically find out what it is once it's released. But there's no point in publicizing "Hey, we found a huge hole at line 2337 of Rosie.c!!!" and make it easy for HTC to get a head start on patching it.
Everyone that is still s-on goto this page http://htcdev.com/contact and write "Unlock my WFS bootloader" click send and repeat as many times as you can. Cant hurt to try seeing how they are taking their sweet time with the upgrade.
Done.
Now up to others. This is the only way.
Facebook page isn't a great succes.
Really hope in the end of the month cyanogenmod 7 full working (camera, ...) for free on my phone.
Been there, done that and just did it again....
It's about time that something should start happening.
Boo HTCDEV if you're reading this, booo
If there is enough driving force then maybe we have a chance. A handful of users will not be sufficient, we need enough people for HTCDEV to notice that there is a large enough userbase to warrant them developing the unlock for the phone.
At the moment there simply isn't enough people.

I think so too but they probably already have developed the unlock and there's a fat guy in a smelly Big Android BBQ t-shirt sitting at the HTC HQ with a small red button next to his hand. All he has to do is press it and we all get the update, but no. He's sitting there reading these forums sniggering to himself with a fat cigar in his mouth because he's enjoying watching us all suffer at 600mhz.

Dear -- --,
Thank you for contacting HTC
We thank you for your interest in unlocking your HTC Wildfire S but do not have information on when updates are released or which devices will be updated
We currently don’t have information regarding which phones will be unlocked beside the HTC Sensation. For this reason I would suggest you to follow our official website and social media networks for further announcements about which phones will be boot loader unlocked.
