HTC desire update will NOT be OTA but via HTC Sync!! [Confirmed] - Desire General

Hello,
I just read on an official site, that the htc desire will not be given the gingerbread 2.3ota but it will be released through HTC Sync, because its getting a new kernel and the partition of the device will be edited to fit htc sense.
HTC Sense will also be stripped down.. so probably not sense 2.1

Mhm, that will be even smart from HTC cause modifying of nand size, nice move but for us only version of sense is important now i think and with 1.9 i'm not happy a lot :/

Good thing I don't care for official stuff as I don't plan on installing HTC Sync. They are upgrading Sense. I don't see any other valid reason for partition table change other than that. After all they have 250mb at their disposal. Fcuk me if they can't put Sense 1.0 on that only because it is Gingerbread.
If that info is valid at all.

Well nice to see what are they willing to do but I don't care anymore since I use Cyanogenmod. I only feel bad for those who like sense and their official rom very much.

please change the title "Desire does not get cable but OTA update update" to "Desire does not get OTA but cable update update" ghehe

Hmm... I wonder what the impact will be for people (like myself) who have de-branded devices? Hopefully no more than having the goldcard in the device before updating, but I wonder if unbranded phones will end up as bricks?

This information is not confirmed until HTC officialy said it, and yes there is no update option on HTC Sync and they wont bring new version of HTC Sync only becouse of that.

they could just release an RUU and the OTA could notify to update via the RUU...

Offering Money to Fix Phone 2.2

Hello,
I am willing to offer someone 20USD if they can tell me how to fix my HTC desire. I was running on a Asia ROM which was upgraded to a Euro one so i could update. Upon updating to 2.2 I have no wifi, or SD and "process system" keeps crashing
The details of the phone are:
Model A8181
OS: 2.2 (from OTA)
Baseband: 32.36.00.28U_406.00.02_2
Kernel: 2.6.29-0cb9f166
Build is 2.09.405.8
Please Help Me.
You need to flash the newest radio, should fix all your problems.
You're using a radio from eclair (2.1).
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
With the 2.2 ota, im not sure if there is a way to downgrade, as I read one of the devs accidentally upgraded to an OTA release. This is due to the bootloader being updated to one that hasnt been hacked yet.
My 2 cents is hold tight and hope one of the devs figures a way to downgrade, that way you could install a custom 2.2 which doesnt have these issues.
Good luck, sorry i couldnt be of much use :/
EDIT- i completely missed that flakz0r lol, can it still be flashed through recovery if he used a 2.2 OTA update? if so http://android.adamg.co.uk/bravo/radio/32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip
you still have the older 2.6.29 kernel too
flash the radio to the latest and flash one of the 101 roms people are releasing based on the new ota 2.2 as that should update your kernel

Did you download the ota update, or have you got root and installed one of roms on this forum? If it's ota I dont see how your radio can be the one you've stated. If it's a rom from the forum flash the new radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip
I dont know, but it should be possible. Also, the official OTA update comes with the new radio, so i dont understand how he was able to update the rom but not the radio. That is assuming he isnt rooted, of course.

Yeah, you just need the radio. Put it on your sdcard and flash it like you flashed the rom. Dont touch your phone, let it work, takes a while.
so....who got the 20 dollars?
lol i think it should be falkz0r he was the first to provide a solution...
btw...he managed to go from asian to european version through goldcard and the RUU file. Done that to my previous Hero too.

I can't believe people still believe in that developer-not-official bull****. It was marked as a "developer version" only because it's available only as a RUU. And everything that was released by HTC is official.

i agree the gb ruu is official..but they released gb only to say "we released the gb update as u wished"..no more updates on that will come..is like a discontinued version...infact now they are releasing an ota that is going to patch the last official rom for the desire: froyo
Which will be most probably the last version as well.

I've never got the 3.20.401.3 update

My software number is *still* 3.14.707.24, and I never got the 3.20 update (the update with minor improvements and WiFi fix). But it wouldn't be a problem to me, unless I need to be on 3.20 to get the new Sense 5 update, so the question is : do I?

There is no 3.14.707.x for ASIA_WWE;
The 3.14+ version was distributed mainly for bugfixes for some region.
Despite bugfixing, many of us *feels* there are some improvements as well.
HTC never distributing 3.14+ to many other regions because there is no need or the improvements is minor. When time come you will likely to receive 3.14-4.20 OTA, full stop.

I'm on 3.14.707.24....
The sense 5 update is only available for the 401 devices. And not even officially for all cids with that number. If you don't want to flash a custom 5 Rom you have to wait longer.

All VZW m9's shipped with the latest OS. We have not received a single OTA yet, therefore what you are looking for doesn't exist (yet). Once it hits, you will simply need to get a copy of the otapkg.zip and run it from your SD/internal storage to update.

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.
