New wildfire user needs help!! - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone...
My friend recently bought this wildfire. Now he wants update to gingerbread. But he doesn't want to root. So can anyone please help me finding a guide to update. An official update would be better...
Thanks....

Not possible, because there isn't any official update out, and, in all probability, there never will be one.

Thanks for the reply...
Then how can I upgrade without rooting? Is there any way?

No there isn't... The latest official update for Wildfire is 2.2 froyo...
However, he can sell the Wildfire and get a Wildfire S
Dun forget to hit "Thanks" coz I know that I helped you

Can you provide me a link for the froyo update?

Check your friend's phone, since he has recently bought it, I am pretty certain it must have Froyo.
But, in any case, it is available here: (Check the one's with the word 'Froyo' in them. The 1 RUU available is WWE 2.22.405.1)

Did you check his phone? Please do that before you flash this, because, if he is already on 2.2.1, then there is absolutely no point in flashing this ROM. (Android version can be checked in Settings > About Phone > Software)
But, to flash an RUU (EXE File), connect the Wildfire to the PC, and simply run the EXE file. It will do the rest. The only prerequisite is that the Sync drivers are installed. This can be found on the SDCard which came bundled with the phone.
Re-iterating it to you again - Check your friends phone. Don't perform this if his phone is already on 2.2.1

Checked it... It's eclair...
Thanks for your help...
Respect !!!
Also I wanted to know if anyone of those roms is gingerbread?
Also should I flash a rom of asian version only?
Thanks...

No, as I stated in my first post in this thread, there is no official version of Gingerbread available. The ones starting with 2.x in the filename is a Froyo ROM, and the ones starting with 1.x in the filename is an Eclair ROM.
It's not necessary to flash Asian version. You can get a WWE version as well. (Like 2.22.405.1).
Just one last thing - Has your friend checked for any OTA (Over-The-Air) updates? It can be found in Settings –> About phone –> System software update . In that way, if available, your friends Wildfire will be flashed with an India specific Froyo ROM. If there doesn't exist one, you can go ahead with flashing an RUU

Anyone from Singapore get Froyo updates ???

Oaoa, I check every 5 minutes and nothing at all. Is the update only apply for Europe only? Is there any links to download the update yet?
Is there any bros here from Singapore? oaoa, dying waiting .
Malaysia, haven't gotten it.
no updates here in china
From sg.. no updates yet.. been trying every 5mins too..
I'm from Singapore, no update so far.
I also tried to manually do the update via "How to manually... " thread. It did not work for my Desire.

u get the "error status 7" is it?
I am trying the manual update. Download the file, change to update.zip, upload to sd card, follow the procedure and ... got error status 7. Google around but still no answer so far ...
Appreciate very much if anyone can help.
I think I found out the problem. In Singapore, the Eclair version is considered branded, build 1.19, which include the chinese keyboard and other stuffs that normal version does not have. And hence, the OTA update downloaded does not fit to it.
So I guess, either we wait for the OTA upgrade or we try to flash some other stock rom and do the manual update ...
So troublesome to try since need to redo all the settings, installing software ...
You guys got any ideas.
I think is because of the roms u guys using now. For now, only WWE or Europe Rom is eligible for update.
Before update to Froyo, I got software version 1.21.
Hope this help.

Philippines here, no update as well
nothing in hong kong either. seems we're all on the same boat now
okie, after a lot of readings, confirm that Asia rom got no update yet. So if wanna get the update, need to flash the WWE rom 1.21.405.2 first, then upgrade. Or else, wait for HTC to launch the asia rom upgrade.
So sad, since Asia rom got chinese keyboard (I think this is the only difference), if we try to use WWE general rom, we need to find the way ourself. So, either wait or itchy do, it's up to us.

Froyo includes all the keyboard u need. u can type chinese (pin yin or zhu yin or anything u like) even writting recognition (I haven't try that yet).
But definitely got chinese keyboard.
oh, okay, thx a lot. So I should try to flash WWE rom then upgrade, shouldn't I? Anyone from Asia got problem of flashing WWE general rom? or put in another way, anyone from Asia successfully upgrade to Froyo?
OK those from Asia who want to do the update to froyo:
I don't know if it will work directly from 1.19, you can try, but you may need to get your phone to WWE v 1.21 first. For this you WILL need a gold card, you will also need a goldcard in order to upgrade to froyo from the update.zip
I am doing this as we speak, for the nth time rebooting hoping it works this time.
IF it works, and it's a big IF right now, I will post detailed instructions.
Edit: GOT IT! Woo hoo.
Stay tuned for a post in the General section about how to upgrade to Froyo if your hands are itchy like mine
bro, pls post detail instruction, thx a lot.
haha, very itchy, so try to flash the 1.21 rom then magic happens, got updates when press check now and ... installing. Everything works great. In fact, do not need to do the manual update, OTA will do.
Cheers bro.
Indonesia no update yet.so if i want to flash rom 1.21. I need made goldcard.isn't it?.thanks.

How to get 2.2 on a debranded phone?

I've posted a similar thread which ended up in Q&A, but nobody looks there so I'm posting again in the hope someone can shed some light.
I've got a Virgin Desire (2nd hand) which I've debranded with the 2.1 HTC ROM I downloaded and flashed.
How do I get the new 2.2 on the phone? When I do OTA checks for updates it says none available and I can't find a thread with any information on what to do in this situation.
I've searched and checked many times and would appreciate some help!
Cheers,
Joe

I guess You will have to download any Froyo room and flash it manually. OTA update depends on carriers. Hope it helps
So for example, I flash the T-Mob ROM and then wait for the OTA from them?
If you have debranded and now have the HTC Generic ROM installed (with goldcard) then all you have to do is wait a couple days and keep checking.
Or as said above, download a 2.2 generic rom and flash that. Take a look around here, there's plenty of links to download available.
Thanks, I have the generic HTC ROM installed, so my final question is do I need the goldcard in there for the phone to recognise that there is an update available? I took it out at is was a 2gb card and have my normal 6gb card in there at present.
Cheers,
Joe
If your phone WAS branded then you'll need the gold card for ALL future updates

I think you should just put that in your signature
Seems to be what I say in all threads these days, isn't it??
Thanks guys - it may be what you say a lot but my search terms didn't lead me to it.
Perhaps a sticky would be good for this gem of a piece of information?
Go on, tell me it was there all the time and I missed it, hehe.
Just need to search 'debrand htc desire' and most of the threads at some point say keep the gold card in
Yep, freshly redone goldcard in (the one used for debranding) and hey presto...
No updates. Boo hoo.
I'll leave it in for a couple of days then and see what happens.
Geez, just download any Froyo rom and flash already. There are countless threads about this in this forum.

Dude, this phone was with Virgin and there's more chance of Santa Claus taking a dump in my toilet than getting 2.2 from them!
I figured vanilla HTC 2.1 would get the purest and quickest updates.
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed is what I used to flash it a few weeks back.
So if you've got that ROM what's the issue? Other than needing a gold card to get the new OTA there's nothing else you need as the OTA should just download and install
What ROM are you on at the mo?
Just looked at that page...
Edit: this is what I have now and I'm downloading the ROM and radio files from your sig Eddy. That presumably will sort it out.
And I now realise I've been a complete spack here. It's the recent (Sept 2010) 2.2 update I want - I know I have basic Froyo already.
Android version
2.2
Baseband
32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
Kernel
2.6.32.15-gf9c0527
Build
2.09.405.8 CL218634 release-keys
Software number
2.09.405.8
Browser version
Webkit 3.1
So am I on the latest and greatest anyway?
Oh arsemonkeys, the tribulation continues.
So I get the ROM on Eddy's sig, run it with fresh goldcard in and itonly goes so far and dumps me out with the black screen/HTC logo - first on the PC is said waiting for bootloader and a couple of minutes later it errored out - something about USB connection error.
So I search and try the white bootloader/fastboot screen approaches but get even less far in.
I've done plenty of searching but the problem is that there is so much information here it's like a needle in a haystack to work out what I need to do to get this ROM on board.
If anyone can help me out then feel free - I'm well and truly befuddled now!
Wait there's an official 2.2 rom for the Desire?

Dude, i don't understand what your asking for here. Isnt it on 2.2 already ??
2.10.405.2 is the latest version, is it not saying it's there if you check for OTAs?
Yes that's what I mean Eddy, no updates show up as being available, whether a gold card is in or not and to top it off I don't seem to be able to install the ROM on your Sig.

[Q] I am new with Desire and Android :(

Hello All,
I'm new to desire and android.
My HTC Desire works with version 2.1-update 1.
I know that v2.2 is available and I activated the automatic update but I did not get any notifications for the new version 2.2!
I checked for update manually but I got a message that my phone is up to date!
Well, I made some search online to know how to get the 2.2 on my phone. I found some ppl says that I need to do "WIPE" to my phone before installing the new froyo 2.2! but what is meant by WIPE? how could I do Wipe?
Also, how could I get the new version 2.2? do you have any direct link for this version? after downloading the version on my computer, how could I install it to my desire? I'll appreciate the detailed steps
Also I found some ppl talking about "root" and "ROM"!! what does that mean?
do I need to do root, rom?
All what I want is to know how to update my 2.1 to 2.2 without loosing the HTC sense. I forgot to tel you that my current version supports the Arabic language and the English language read and write. so I need the Froyo version that supports both languages.
Thank you for your patience and you help will be appreciated
Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post up the 'Software version'
We'll go from there, but if you're on 2.29.405.5 then you're already on 2.2 and the latest version too
You just need to check out the rom development section. From there on you start reading. There are a lot of tutorials in that section.
At first you won't know what everything meanes, but if you read it, you will understand.
Just don't do anything that you don't understand, that will save you a lot of problems.
And yes if you want to flash a custom rom you need root and you can get root by unrevoked.

Restore to original rom htc desire in Thailand

I rooted my Desire with unrevoked and use Pays-Rom-Desire, but i forgot backing up the original rom before installing.
Now i want to restore my phone to original ROM, i bought my device in Thailand with Froyo default, on Nov 2010.
I tried to use RUU RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe downloaded from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869048 but it said that customer ID incorrect.
Any people have the original ROm for this?
Many thank.
Without knowing the build number of the original ROM on your handset it's a guessing game, that one you tried is the generic WWE version not the Asian one
Yes, i know that. Thank you.
Do you know anywhere to get the original ROM for my phone. I found the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667 but the ASIA version is too old for my phone.
What version are you looking at? Best go here and see if there's a newer one:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
EDIT: This might do the job:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed.exe
Or here if that link fails:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed.exe
Oh, thank you so much Eddy.
It might be my version. I visited the site but follow the Desire model so cannot find out this.
Let me try it now.
Thank you, thank you.
Wow, i completed backing up my phone. Now i'm trying to root the original ROM and customize it myself.
Thank you so much, Eddy.

[Q] Latest Official roms?

Hello,
I have already made ​​up my mind that I can never make my Wildfire root,
but I have months looking for the latest official wwe roms for Android 2.2.1 goldcard and can not find anywhere,
builds are 2.37 or 2.38,
Does anyone know how to get them?
thanks
I don't see if they don't exist, how can you get them. Even today, someone with the new HBoot downgraded their Froyo RUU to an Eclair official build, which has already been suggested to you before.
