tl dr;, You can't do it, yet.
Thanks. I hope they will release the patch soon. I have problems will wifi and i don`t know if it`s from the root or from the phone.
Have you reflashed your radio?
Yes. I have the latest version. I tried with an older version, but no luck.
I forgot to tell you, but Sense is not loading, in any custom ROM i tried. Even with the original ROM.

Hi Guys,
I am eager to try the 2.1 for my Hero which has had some 3G issues due to T-Mobile Network issue which still has no sign of being fixed.
Anyhow, my question is, if I made gold card and rooted my Stock Hero to a rooted 2.1 version, when the official one is finally released, can I go back to a stock 2.1 again?
Really want to try out the 2.1 but well over another month it seems to go on T-mobile.
yes
Yes, but it will prob unroot it,
Hi, If you root and install a custom 2.1 rom, when you update to the official t-mobile ROM, you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ROOT AGAIN.
So be careful as custom roms often get things (just like the 2.1) a lot earlier than official upgrades. Especially from t-mobile as they seem to take ages before releasing them . Hope this helps.

This is still assumed, the root access may still be there through the old methods. But we don't know until it is released. I would let someone else test it first.
this is my second thread about this issue, and PLEASE don't answer if you don't know how i could do this. i DON'T want a rooted/modded whatsoever 2.2, just the update that came today.
i guess my best bet would be flashing a htc europe generic rom and get the OTA, but how do i do that?
If your phone is from a network provider then it will more than likely need rooting even if you just want to flash it with a generic HTC ROM.
If it was purchased SIM free then it should already have a generic ROM and it will just be a matter of time before you get the OTA update.
Have you tried manually chacking for an update on the phone?

Here's how
I'm Rooted and I still want the official update after reading the warning.
1) Make a goldcard using this guide (For Desire too)
2) Download this
3) Double click it and follow the instructions.
4) When the update is ready to be pushed out, you will get a notification.
(taken from the Official foyo update thread....please search or read before making threads like this)
Also consider looking at this
http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/307683/howto-unroot-your-htc-desire/
BTW, if you do this you will not be able to unroot again untill a new root is found which could take weeks, or could never happen. You loose the ability to install custom roms, or non sense roms.
@ shetlander: it IS rooted, but i'm not able to flash generic, it simply doesn't work
@jedipottsy: i don't have a micro SD card available, but as i said, the phone IS rooted, so i there any way to do it without one? maybe a dump of a generic firmware instead of a ruu.exe?
edit: i forgot to mention, i had a leaked 2.2 build flashed before, but then flashed back to t-mobile rom. what doesn't work ist the flash to htc europe generic

nope, need an sdcard, can't flash an official over an unofficial, you need sd to restore to an older official.

well i was able to got to a defrost build and back to stock without goldcard, i don't see why a htc generic can't function (
cant see the advantage of using the official, you loose too much for little gain
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741663 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741755
there is full 2.2 with extras, or plain with root, much easier to install and you dont loose root
thx jedi, i am actually flahshing the thingy with busybox(whatever that does), there's no way i'm gonna miss teeter ^^

Download this rom:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.zip
change the name to PB99IMG and put it on your gold card, boot into recovery and select fastboot, it will install the generic 1.21 rom, then when you check for updates the froyo update will be there, btw doing this wipes everything on your phone. Worked for me although I didn't install the froyo update as I am scared of the bootloader.
Hi, I've been running stock 2.3.3 on my UK phone for sometime now and want to upgrade to the latest official rom.
When Ominus was doing a free unlock via testpoint method, I did it but now I cant upgrade the official way.
What's the safest way to upgrade my rom now? Dont mind loosing all the settings and programs but if I can keep them that's a bonus.
Any help would be appriciated, BTW I've not been into flashing for quite some time so keep it simple.
Thanks

That's a no-go I'm afraid. If you unlocked your bootloaded VIA that method you cannot re-lock your bootloader.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14943322&postcount=1
Besides, official ROMs are bloated and crappy. Why would you want to revert? If anything, reflash a stock Kernel/FTF, or update via FTF to the latest version using FlashTool.
You can download the latest FTF for the R800i here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390350787562963052

I'm using an official rom now, so I wouldnt be reverting, back in the day when I had an Sony X1 I had all sorts of headaches with custom roms (sleep of death ect) I know I would loose loads of nice features that I wont get with an official rom, but they just work 99% of the time.
I know I cant use the official method to update, so your saying FTF it? Sounds simple enough, but do they come with a kernel ect?
Cheers for the reply buddy.
Edit: just realised.. stock/official meant the same thing to me, when you say stock do you mean "un-bloated" ?
As far as I know it flashes everything.
Stock ROMs will still have all the Sony apps and any extras that come with it. Most of these are pointless though and takes up internal space, 3rd party ROMs are usually a lot less bloated as well as being faster with improved battery life. I moved from the stock lates UK 2.3.4 Sony ROM to AuroraPlay 0.8 (and above) and it made a hell of a good difference to it, everything feels much smoother.
i cannot for the life of me get past this!! bought a replacement vzw htc1 that came with 4.4.2. rooted it, flashed a 4.4.4(?) rom...now the sound does NOT work during calls? works fine otherwise tho. reading i found out its likely because i didnt update to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 before i flashed? so im assuming its a kernel compatibility issue? i did find a rom that the sound KINDA works..but it isnt right and i hate the rom, the rom is a 4.4.2 ..old rom. so i AM rooted, unlocked and s-off i believe, how can i fix this?? flash a new kernel..which one? fastboot back to stock and go thru the updates? if so, how? i find nothing but CONFUSING tutorials (and im NOT really new to this). ideally id like sense 5.5 4.4.3 so i dont have to drop $25 just to root it? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone point me in the right direction

You just need to update your firmware.
Find my stock rooted Rom thread and flash the latest firmware in post#2.
Hello all,
Long story short I currently have an Unlocked 10, rooted, s off, and bootloader unlocked. I have flashed over the Verizon rom and radios last year and left it this way for a while. I'm getting to the point where I'm about ready for a factory reset but figured I might as well update if I'm going to do that. Better yet I'd like to get on LeeDroid but preferably on Android N.
So I need to update to an Android N ROM first, then over to LeeDroid. I can do it, but frankly I do this stuff so little that every time I get a little nervous. My 10 is my daily driver but I currently have a raggedy s6 here I can pop a sim in for a minute if needed.
So I'm wondering would it make sense to just do a backup, flash the latest Unlocked N version then flash LeeDroid? Wouldn't my Verizon radios stay where they're at, or will flashing those roms over write them? And, none of this flashing should overwrite my recovery, should it?
Also, I apologize if this is not appropriate but my other option at this point is to ask, are there any fairly well regarded XDA friends here with some spare time that would be open to taking 20 bucks or so to get me fixed up remotely over teamviewer or something?
Thanks for all your help. I don't post here often but when I do I always find the direction I need as someone who is not a frequent modder anymore lol.

To minimize potential problems I would start fresh going from M to N.
Flash the full N RUU.exe. Flash the latest TWRP, then flash LeeDroid. New firmware, TWRP, and custom rom.

Would you suggest Verizon N rom since I'm already on Verizon M or would Unlocked N be better?

Get a copy of your current M rom for the firmware you currently have and download that. Remember, we're talking full roms not updates. Now get the latest N rom for your device (full ruu.exe). Now you have options. I would flash the N rom, then the latest TWRP, then LeeDroid. Any problems, and you can go right back to M. I always use TWRP 3.0.2-6 with M. So if I go back to M I flash that version of TWRP (from within TWRP itself) first. Take your time. You can do this. You can get the latest N rom from HTC's website. To get your M rom you'll have to search for it using your firmware numbers. Someone should have a copy.
BTW, you can watch ROOT JUNKY's videos on youtube as a refresher on the basics of flashing TWRP and so on. Don't use his files though. They're old.

Yeah I think you're right. I made it this far lol. But the N rom from HTC would just be the unlocked N wouldn't it, not Verizon? I know the Verizon ruu is over in the Verizon HTC 10 forum here so I could get that. Also I think I need to go brush up on firmware vs rom I tend to think they're the same thing but they're not, right?

I see. By "unlocked" you mean the US unlocked GSM HTC 10. I wouldn't mess with trying to alter your radios right now. Yes, stick with Verizon on everything. LeeDroid should run fine with that. Installing a new HTC rom changes your firmware. It will be updated as you go to N. If you decide to back to M, it will be downgraded. Installing a custom rom won't change your firmware. A full rom is composed of several components. The firmware is one component.

Ohhh okay I follow. Yeah sorry I did mean the GSM Unlocked model, I bought direct from HTC. But I couldn't get it to work on unlocked firmware with Verizon so I ended up flashing the Verizon ROM and radio last year.
So I'll grab the Verizon RUU and flash that, then LeeDroid. And update my TWRP. Its long over due anyways lol
Can't thank you enough for your help. I'm going to give it a shot this weekend I think. I really want to run LeeDroid!
