I couldn't find a decent step by step for this, so here's how I did it:
1. Create a GoldCard for your device using Klutsh's GoldCard tool.
2. Download one of the stock RUU ROMs.
3. Once ROM is flashed, check for updates on phone and download the Froyo update.
Hi Armysh,
Thanks for your reply.
As a user with a Telstra branded phone, I just wanted to confirm:
a) Does this download the official HTC Update (With HTC's customisations / applications)
b) Does anything special need to be done to make sure this continues to work with Next G?
Cheers
Adza
Hey adza,
It gives you the stock HTC update without all the Telstra guff.
Sorry, it wouldn't let me post links, but you can Google Klutsh's GoldCard tool (make sure you read the readme) and there is a page full of untouched ROMs here on XDA. I picked the second WWE one, ran the downloaded ROM exe on my computer with the GoldCard in the phone, and it updated fine. Once that had all loaded up, I then just checked for system updates and downloaded the Froyo update that popped up.
Hope this helps.
Hi Armysh,
Thanks for your reply. Well - I'm going to give this a shot. Hopefully I'll have a working unbranded Froyo HTC shortly....
Cheers
Adza

Edit:
Hi Armysh,
Just wanted to say thank you very much for your post here. I have been able to upgrade as per your instructions and all appears to be working well! Once again, thank you very much!
Adam.

I have a Telstra branded Desire which I had previously already rooted. When I try and install the ROM you indicated (with goldcard in phone), I get the following message:
ERROR[130]: MODEL ID ERROR
Weak.
I'm not too sure, but from what I've read you need to get the rooted OTA Froyo ROM and flash that the same way you flashed any other ROM after rooting.
Not sure what's happening there.
My downloads were:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
and
http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip
and all went smoothly for me. (Once I got my head around how to use the Goldcard properly that is) No rooting for me - just straight from the Telstra version to the HTC vanilla one

This is also exactly what I want to do, I've got the Goldcard now, but can't seem to figure out what to do next with it. All the guides I've read then proceed to root the phone? Any pointers to useful instructions already published?

To me it looks like your Goldcard is faulty. Try to create a new one. Cheers.
On to second gold card and still just a giant bag of fail. I've tried several ROMs, including rooted Froyo ROMs with no luck.
Very frustrating.

You need to navigate through the boot loader. This can be done by holding down key combinations (including Power+Vol Up, and Power+Home IIRC).

I followed the instructions and update to the ROM (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed)
But when I do to software update it says 'there are no updates available for your phone'
I tried downloading the OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30 and copying to the goldcard and renaming it update.zip but when I start the phone in recovery mode I just get a phone icon with an exclaimation mark.
Any ideas?
Edit: Ok I think Ive worked it out -- Here are the steps I performed on the Telstra A8183 Desire (Note: I am using it on the Telecom NZ XT Network)
If not already done, Install HTC Sync and restart your computer (Yes you acutally do have to restart or it wont work)
Format the microSD card to FAT32 format (quick format is OK).
Put the microSD card in your device and boot it.
Launch GoldCard Tool (Right Click and run as Admin if needed)
Connect Android device to USB and enable USB Debugging (Settings --> Applications --> Developer --> Enable USB Debugging)
Click 'Get CID' (If MMC1 fails try MMC0)
Navigate to psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard, enter the CID number from Goldcard Tool and create your goldcard image, which will be e-mailed to you.
Enable USB Mass Storage on the Desire if its not on already
Click 'Refresh' and select your microSD card in the drop down menu.
Click 'Load GoldCard.img' and open the .img file you got by email.
Click 'Patch MMC'
Download and run RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
Once the phone is flashed, download OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip and rename it to update.zip
Copy it to your Goldcard and power off the phone
Turn on the phone by pressing the Down arrow Key and the Power Button This will take you to a menu. Using the volume down button to select recovery mode and press the power button.
When you see the image of the phone with an Exclamation mark press the volume up and the power button and select install the contents from update.zip
Hi,FYI after doing this update, your HTC Desire will be recognized as A8181 instead A8183 which not allowing you to use the Next-G network

Really? Thats weard, because I get the H symbol for HDPSA after having done the flash and I made a Speedtest and got around 600 kbps. I did this test before and after the flash.
So I thing your phone gets only a face lift to A8181 but nothing else happens to your antennas frequency.
But I have to say I dont know NextG Network, I´m in Paraguay and we have 3.5G at 850mhz.

I got that same message the first time I tried to flash (without a Goldcard), than made the Goldcard and everything went really smooth. But I ran the RUU loosing root, so I could get the OTA Froyo Update.
Thanks a million for this!
Followed the steps given here and had no issues at all. Android Version is being reported as 2.2 in the settings. Loving froyo on my Telstra desire. Good to be rid of all the junk the pre-install too! Wi-Fi hotspot is brilliant, that was the only thing I missed about my HD2. Not having any network issues either.

The Symbol H will still shown up as it work in 3g network (band 2100Mhz) but not in telstra Next-G network (band 850Mhz).
By changing the radio to A8181 ver. the radio will be changed from:
HSPA/WCDMA: Australia: 850/2100 MHz
GSM: Australia: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
source: HTC Australia website (can't post link yet)
to:
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

Another request for A8183 reports...
I too have an A8183 from mobicity. It's just arrived and I haven't done anything except charge it and turn it on (not even a SIM or SD card installed).
I'd really like to upgrade to 2.2 but am concerned as some suggestions that following the process here might change the radio and kill 850.
I am in NZ and obviously need 850Mhz most of the time for XT.
Has anyone else updated an A8183 Desire with 2.2 and can confirm it still works on BOTH 850 and 2100 Mhz in NZ on XT?
Cheers - N

850Mhz = NO
2100Mhz = YES
Here is some quotation from wikipedia regarding XT radio band (its up to you to believe it or not ^_^):
--
WCDMA
The XT Mobile Network is a 3G WCDMA UMTS mobile network which covers 97% of places where New Zealanders 'work and play' using HSPA as its technology for data transmission. It operates at a frequency of 850 MHz, a lower frequency compared to other 3G networks. The 850MHz frequency results in a stronger signal strength throughout New Zealand's particularly mountainous terrain. While lower frequencies have a tendency to be able to curve around obstacles such as hills and buildings, one should not expect to be able to achieve adequate coverage in remote locations such as mountains, forests and national parks.
Phones that are capable of 850 MHz UMTS connections will be able to access the network throughout the country. In some densely populated areas, including the main city centres, handsets will also be able to connect using 2100 MHz UMTS. Many older 3G handsets, manufactured before 2008 only support 2100MHz and would not be well suited to the XT Network as they would only have coverage in areas where 2100 MHz is available -- such as Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Older handsets would be well suited to use 2degrees or Vodafone for nationwide coverage in NZ.
--
So It means,you can still use your Desire with XT network after update to froyo if you live in those underlined cities since .
Similar to Telstra, 3G network still working (using 2100Mhz) but not for Next-G (850Mhz).
oh btw,
I use 3 Australia (2100Mhz) and my Desire works perfectly even after the update
Cheers

Problem.
I got to this stage, but when I executed the file on my PC, it installed a bootloader and then asked me to reboot the PC.
After the PC powered down to reboot. Nothing! No BIOS post boot or anything.....
I can't access anything...
It's seems like it flashed something on my motherboard and now I can't boot into anything....
So, what gives?

Did you try to flash with official RUU ?
Yes, when i try install the original RUU gives I connection error
mr. winterbottom
Who's your provider? I've flashed the Rom you're talking about and it is for the GSM/WCDMA Desire. When you say you now have CDMA, are you talking about WCDMA? Did you check your APN settings? Which RUU did you try?
My provider is o2 (germany) GSM the RUU is the original by o2.
I make the goldcard in my desire and try install the original RUU. No chance
The APN is correct !
The SDcard is correct in desire
I can't change "load" - "card" on my desire.
In system control > device manager gives i "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" and this is wrong!!!

There is no way the rom you pointed to is cdma. Ive got it on mine right now with the camera patch.
Whats "system control" ?
What did the phone do after you flashed the rom and booted it?
You're talking out of your arse my friend, you can't be on a CDMA phone as you are still logging onto o2 which isn't a CDMA provider...it's physically impossible
The HD ROM is ported from the GSM Desire HD (there's no CDMA variant) so something else is wrong

Did you do a google search 1st for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM as its a company name of what im presuming supplies the 3G chip set http://www.qualcomm.com/qct/
Has the functioning of your desire changed at all? What do you mean u cant change "load" "card" on your desire? Do you mean it wont recognize your SD card anymore?
morning,
my Desire is not full functioning !!!
telephony - NO (provider is enable but make not a connection)
USB not available (i can't select the dialog "USB device" or "only loading")
I've make the USB brick from MoDaCo. No result
When i make root with the r6 (goldcard) MoDaCo get i the message "FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail)"
when i plug in my Desire get i "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" driver not found in windows 7 and in ubuntu is no reaction as USB device.
mr. winterbottom
That isn't the ROMs fault but something else you've done - as said before I'm using the ROM and I've got no issues...
A quick Google search shows 'Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM' as being something to do with ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center so I'd imagine it's a modem of some description? It's not because the phone has changed to CDMA. Most threads coming back from Google suggest it's something to do with Windows Mobile
hi,
but where is my USB device this dead no connection - no root - no adb - .....
neither in windows nor in linux
i will yet crazy
mr. winterbottom
Who knows, sounds like the USB brick...what ROM was your phone running on when you first got it?
my first root rom was DeFroST NO PROBLEMS thousandfold updated.
i use the RCMixHD with HTCCamera.apk and end is the story. my desire is dead boing.
since that time comes the message in windows7 Qualcomm ..........
i want back my USB :-(
mr. winterbottom
I meant which stock ROM was on the Desire when you first purchased it?
ah ok
the frist was "o2 germany android 2.1" amoled with HBOOT 0.80
i don't no the build number : -(
mr. winterbottom
Hmmm, can't say I've seen any o2 DE RUUs about. Without it it'll be harder to get things working. Have you got a gold card made up? If so, you could try downloading the latest PB99IMG.zip off of shipped-roms.com (the 2.29.405.2 one) and see if you can flash that via HBOOT
Other than that it might be a dead phone
now have i

HBOOT 0.93
mr. winterbottom
Well that's the last unbranded FroYo ROM - is that all working at the moment but no USB?
no, in moment have i update original unroot android 2.2 without USB.
USB is dead
mr. winterbottom
Then I can't help you I'm afraid
You might have to send it back to HTC. I take it you've used this guide to try and fix it?

Reflash of radios might be in order if other users of rom are not experiencing problems. Here is Orig Radio Thread with great info however links dont appear to be working. Try for latest Radio links in Captain_Throwbacks sig.

Hi,
My HTC Buzz is facing a peculiar problem,
Earlier in my mobile, mobile network was working in any rom either 2.2 ,2.3 or 4.0 but now while using android 2.2 sense roms such as rempuzzle,kwbr, etc ,mobile network is not working, the mobile network is just showing "turning on" .
but mobile network is working fine in any android 2.3 or ICS roms ....
please help me in correcting this error
Same problem here.

To rectify this, you may "permanently" go back to Clockworkmod 2.x by using Unrevoked / Fastboot
