Hey guys, im looking for a friend of mine how to update a desire from 2.2 to 2.3, he doesnt get an update if he goes to about phone -> check for updates (it says its latest version), so i was wondering if there is a method to flash the update over cable on the phone. to be clear, he would like the stock 2.3 from htc not cyanogenmod or custom roms.
thanks for the help guys
Its not out yet. If your friend has a branded Desire, it will take longer for the update to go through because carriers are like that. If it's unbranded then the update should come through straight away.
Swyped...
thank you very much, i searched for that ont he internet and mostly it said coming may so i was confused... thanks anyways guess he needs one of the custom roms ^ ^

There are plenty of 2.3 custom roms but he will need to root the phone first.
Otherwise you have to wait as above!
Ye, thanks, checked them a bit.

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.
thanks alot for replying. I guess i'll have to wait till froyo is out and someone does an upgrade.
Cheers
I see a lot of people talking about having 2.2 on there i9000. Where do you get it? I thought you had to wait for it to come on keis. Can someone explain this? Thank you
Yep the update comes on kies and pretty much everyone has got it now. Other then that u can flash ur device to froyo via odin.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Froyo is rolling out across the networks not al have it yet .
One you wait for your network to supply an official update and then use Samsung Kies to update .
Or you download whatever copy of 2.2 you want use Odin to flash it to your phone .
Negatives with flashing one voids warranty and two very small possibility of bricking your phone . So in your shoes i would wait until your network releases update .

Hey friends...
My friend has recently bought a defy in India... It came with eclair...
Now he wants to upgrade to gingerbread... But he doesn't want to root... So can anyone please help me? As I'm a Samsung user, I don't know anything about Motorola devices or how to upgrade them... So I would appreciate a noob friendly guide...
Thanks...

He can update to Froyo, but there is no official Gingerbread update from Motorola for the Defy (and there will never be one).
If he doesn't want to tinker a bit he won't get Gingerbread (there are also 2.3 ports of the Defy Plus that work quite well, but rooting is necessary to install anything like that).

You can mess around with your Defy s much as you want, root, install ROMs, flash sbfs... And you can ALWAYS go back to the stock Foyo/ Eclair firmware your Defy came with. Even if something went wrong and the phone doesn't boot anymore, just flash a stock clean Motorola firmware and everything's gone (the ROM you had before, also the root). So also if your Defy has a hardware problem and you want to send it back, just go back to stock before and you don't have to worry about the warranty.

I don't think so. if you changed the bootloader version you will be stuck on some higher kernel and can not easily go back.. (that was what happend to epsylon3 - one of the main devs of CM9 for defy) - so if you flashed official froyo - you will not be able to go back to eclair for example. (as is also pointed out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537)
A piece of advice: read a lot (here in this forums) before you flash something. It help you not getting in trouble with your phone.

There is no point in using defy with the buggy stock Eclair/Froyo ..
If u want to see the complete potential of defy Root it and Install CM7..
and yes you can go back when ever you want but make sure u take the Nandroid backup of the stock ROM that u r using and check whether the official sbf of ur region is available to download.so that u can flash it and restore the nandroid backup .. !!

Right, that was the only thing I wasn't thinking about. That is what is usually written in big red letters when there's something about these sbfs. But normally there is no need to change the bootloader version by installing the (not fixed) 2.3.4 sbf.
The only really current reliable options for the Defy imho are CM7.1, MIUI (and some versions based on it) and the Defy+ based ROMs (like MS2Ginger). With none of them you risk to be stuck somewhere - I flashed stock Froyo a dozen times without problems.
Thanks all for your replies....
I'll root and flash cm today....

Since Verizon is several updates behind on the CDMA nexus. I read an article that said it was possible to update to 4.2. Using the unlocked version of the the software. Any thoughts
What do you mean? You want to install a 4.2 stock ROM on your CDMA VZW GNEX?
If so, are you new?

please wait for VZW to update your device's software.
I'm gonna but I saw the idea on an article and just wondered if it'd work. I'm fairly new to xda the Gnexus is my 2nd android coming from an HTC incredible 1
Yessir, you can have 4.2 on the VZW Gnex. Problem is, if you have to ask.
Go to the VZW dev forum, read the stickies, read them all. Find a 4.2 ROM, read at least the first few pages of the thread. If you have developed an understanding of all that you need to do to get 4.2, then good luck. If you read and still do not understand, then you need to keep reading until you do. If you keep reading and still do not understand, then you will want to just wait until it's made available OTA.
I got pretty good understanding of the process need to put a ROM on it. I'm gonna wait for the ota though. I'm pretty satisfied with 4.1 stock with an unlocked bootloader

Mine is not updating either gets the first part of the two part update it installs fine but then nothing else happens and it says the phone is up to date.
Guys... Unlock bootloader, install Twrp recovery using fastboot, install Stock MM by @xXminiWHOOPERxX and it's done
Thanks, modaifallah, I have had that rom from xXminiWHOOPERxX and it is good but because it is pre rooted it wont take updates. Still want to be on stock and get ota updates, I am thinking that perhaps that because the first part of the update is called interum maybe my carrier just hasn't made the second part of the update available yet and only have that first part ota at the moment, will contact them today to try and find out, still uncertain after talking to htc and my carrier as to which one actually provides the ota updates, they both just want to refer to the other, call htc and they say talk to your carrier, call my carrier and they say you'll have to talk to htc.

This is disappointing... HTC Desire EYE won't most likely recieve any more updates. Its cousin One M8 won't recieve Android N.. From an official comment from HTC. So the desire eye also won't recieve it being far less popular than M8. We will only have the custom roms option for future updates. So.. If I were you I would stick to miniwhoopers rom. Good luck.
