[Q] Desire Z manual (official) 2.3 update? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have a Desire Z which came with 2.1 and Vodafone firmware.
I have updated the ROM today to unbranded 2.2.1 (1.72).
I am under the impression 2.3 has already been rolled out to Desire Zs, but my phone will not detect any updates.
Is there a manual way to update, or a place to download an official 2.3 RUU?
(I can't tell if any of the RUUs in the section are 2.3?)
Or am I going to have to root and install a mod?
Thanks,

All the RUU's can be found at shipped-roms.com
You'd probably want to try this one RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.42.405.2_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_199043_signed.exe

Got a new Desire, I have some questions.

hey guys, I got a desire and I'm new to android. so I have some questions:
1. my firmware is 1.19.707.7 and I know 1.21 is the lastest, but it says i have the newst one. what's wrong ? ( my Desire is unlocked and unbranded)
2. Froyo is coming to Desire this weekend, but how I know if I'll also get it? cause I heard only europe desire will get it.
3.How to root my Desire? I heard its different in 1.19.707.7 ?
4.My desire I think is from singapore, can I change the firmware to europe one ?
Thanks
1. There is nothing wrong. 1.19.707.7 is the latest Asia WWE rom.
2. The news was that Froyo is coming out this weekend across Europe (meaning Desire with EU roms) so you can't get it. At least not via OTA (but the real question is if it will actually get out).
3. Rooting method depends on bootloader version (at least paul's method).
Read about paul's method here and about unrevoked method here.
4. If you can flash custom roms, there shouldn't be a problem flashing different official rom.
First you have to root and then flash.
2.if I flash the europe official rom to my Desire, I'll also get OTA of Froyo?
3.my bootloader version is 0.80.0000
-Where is the paid applications? I can't find them in my desire, I see only free applications.
-If I flash to the official EU rom, I won't face any problems because it's official right? also My root will stay?
thanks man!
Hi, in my personal opinion, I think you will only get update if you r in Europe country plus your phone must be debranded and unlocked.
My htc desire is flash with the 1.21 HTC WWE roms and I'm in UK but I still can't get any update yet.
So i'm not sure whether or not the update is a false alarm to all of us.

Paid Android Market apps are available only in certain countries - list
Root will stay only if you flash pre-rooted official rom. But hey, unrevoked rooting method is very very simple so rooting again shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks!
just a question :
if I flash the europe official rom to my Desire, I'll also get OTA of Froyo?
Because Froyo has support of my language and I must it

[Q] official htc 2.2 rom source to flash with goldcard?

Hi, i have a german t-mobile branded Desire. There is no 2.2update till now. one way to get 2.2 is to debrand my device with creating a goldcard and flashing official 2.1 rom and get the OTA update.
my question is: is there a ROM source for the official htc 2.2 release? so i can flash directly 2.2 and not 2.1 and then update?
thanks for your help

[Q] Asian Android 2.1 to Europe Android 2.2

Hello everyone!
I've been for hours and hours searching this forum for a solution to my problem and i've found lot's of information but now I don't really know what's the best way to do it. I'm very newbie on this. Here is my situation:
I have just bough and A8181 HTC Desire Asian Version with this Specs:
-In the box it doesn't say AMOLED, so I think my desire has a SLCD screen
-The HBOOT version is 0.83
-Android 2.1 update1
-My Software number is 1.19.707.7
-My keyboard always have an annoying buttom to insert asian letters (Obviously that's because the Desire is an Asian Version)
What I want to know is just the best (and easiest) way to have an Official European FroYo 2.2 ROM instead of this asian 2.1.
So, how do I do this? UnrEVOked? Goldcard? What's the best ROM for my case?
Thank you all very much!
I just checked system update in my Desire Asian version, update to froyo is available now. I'm still downloading. Maybe it's Official Asian Froyo 2.2 ROM
Nice Information.
Jangunawan,
My Desire haven't received the update yet.
Have anyone with stock Asian Desire and software 1.19.707.7 received it?
Even with the update I still want very much to know how to flash my desire with an Eurpean ROM. So, do someone know the answer to my first post?
Thank you all

I hope you realize there's a good chance you won't be able to root after you install this?
Downloading froyo 2.2 now from Asia. HK purchase from Australia. I'm sure they will find a way to root it...eventually.
you will lose root and can not force the apps to be installed on SD.
hi
where can i download htc desire asia version froyo update (i am using an india version. but it cannot see any update from air)
thanks!
My friend has HTC Desire Asian edition.
When manually checking continually it says that phone is up-to-date.
How do we update to Froyo?
Note: We are doing this over WIFI and we can't connect to Gtalk
you sure you're not already rooted or on custom firmware? if yes you wont get the updates

[Q] Which RUU to choose?

Hi Guys
A friend of mine is developing Android apps. He needs a 2.3.3 Android device for max. compatibility to test his apps. So I thought I could give him my old DHD. The problem is that there is currently CM7 installed. But he needs a device with a stock 2.3.3 Android Rom (unrooted!).
So I found this list with lots of RUUs.
Can someone tell me which I have to download? I need a 2.3.3 Rom without Sim-Lock and I live in Switzerland.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi f_enzo,
Thx for your answer.
The HTC Desire HD has received a new software update in December 2010, the Android 2.2.1 version 1.72.405.3 which brings various improvements and some bug fixes.[6] As of January 2011 the 2.2.1 v 1.72.405.3 software update was pulled due to issues with the HTC Sense overlay.[7]
During May 2011 in Western Europe, an over the air update updated unlocked, unbranded Desire HDs to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread and HTC Sense 2.1. On June 12 in Australia, an over the air update was available for unbranded Desire HDs taking them to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread with HTC Sense 2.1. On July 2011, HTC announced via Facebook that it was testing Gingerbread for branded Desire HDs and HTC released the update at the end of July. With the Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread Update, the Desire HD now has the ability to set Wi-Fi proxy settings which was not available previously with Android 2.2 Froyo and has Sense 2.1.
In September 2011 it was reported that HTC plan to update the Desire HD to Android version 2.3.5,[8] which would provide, for example, voice and video calling with Google Talk.
On December 16, 2011 in Europe, an over the air update updated unlocked, unbranded Desire HDs to Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread and HTC Sense 3.0.

If you read the article about the DHD on wikipedia then you will see that Sense 3.0 comes with 2.3.5 and I need 2.3.3. So I think that would be the wrong Rom.
Oh, sorry for my bad answer

Thank you very much. I also tried out some Roms and stuck to the one you suggested.
You can also change the language to german although it's written WWE (world wide english).
