[Q] Should I update my DHD to the official GB update from HTC?

Hi all,
Yesterday HTC launched the official gingerbread 2.3.3 update for the Desire HD over the air.
I have my phone rooted with a custom (gingerbread 2.3.3) ROM from RCMixHD team. So I already have GB..
But if I update, will I lose root? Also, will I be able to flash custom roms after the update? cause with the android 2.2.1 update, that became a problem.. (downgrading was necessary).
Also.. is the update worth it, is it better/faster/more stable than custom GB roms?
thanks for answering,

Simple answer: If you want a stock, unrooted phone then yes, install the OTA update and if it is possible to get the OTA on a rooted phone (I have doubts) then yes, you will lose root.
No, it won't be better to have the stock ROM. You can already get a rooted version of it.
Summary: Leave well alone.

ok thanks, thought the OTA would be more stable and fully functional or something, but I've got no problems with my custom ROM so okay, will stay with it

No worries.
If you have problems why not upgrade to LeeDroid v3.0.x then you get the equivalent of the latest OTA update plus even more goodies.

stock rom 2.2.1
So the I have a stock rom and i can update but after 1 or 2 weeks can i root my phone and use a cooked rom with sense 3.0. Or my phone will be totally locked(for rooting and new xda roms) and I`ll be stuck with sense 2.0 .
EDIT : OK . I did the (OTA) and i found that i will be able to downgrade and install the xda rom , so i am not locked and still can have some fun with my phone 10x xda

[Q] GSM with CyanogenMod 7??

Hello, Im new at all this of android so as you might know confusion its included
I have read in the forum that a couple of people say "According to some review" that you can get to use the GSM functions of the incredible 2 with Cyanogenmod7, but has anyone tried it?
Im not in the USA and Im getting full 3Gvin GSM with the stock ROM 2.3.4, should I flash it to cm7??
I dont even know how to do that I will learn if you tell me its possible

First if u want to flash anything you will need to downgrade to 2.3.3 and then root. That would be step number 1.

gsm worked on cm7 for me.

if you have 2.3.4 gingerbread you don't need to downgrade nothing.. You can still do a full root and use cm7 with out a problem..

GSM works with Cyanogenmod7 outside usa
to flash Cyanogenmod7 or any custom Rom you need to be rooted ( Revolutionary.com )
Boot loader should be .97 , if it is .98 you need to downgrade to .97 , search XDA in development section
if you like to root and stay on a rom similar to Stock ( no Bugs at all ) ,use rmk sense r1 Rom ( it is stock debloated rom)

[Q] Downgrade from 2.3.5 to 2.3.3

Hi Everyone!.. New to XDA and it's really helpful.
However, I am unable to find the answer to my query...
I have a HTC Wildfire S. Great phone don't get me wrong. I updated the software to 2.3.5 and I've hated it ever since Everyone moans about the "lock screen" but I don't have a problem with that. It's the fact it's slower and I am unable to root it.
Hence my question.. can you downgrade a WFS to 2.3.3 from 2.3.5?
All help would be appreciated

Yes, you can.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445867

you can do it , but also you can root it ! since you have an unlocked bootloader or s-off you can get permanent root using superoneclick , and flash custom recoveries and others !

downgrade from 2.3.5 to 2.3.3
hello i wanna know the procedure to downgrade my htc wildfire s.I also wanna know that will downgrading help in removing the "RELOCK" status of my phone to "LOCKED" for warranty purpose
. PLease help me I want my warranty

Guess what? It's old thread bump time!
My father wants to take my old Wildfire S (GSM) as I don't need it anymore ('updated' to Nexus 4). However I had CM7 on it and he disliked it for being different than Sense he knew from his Desire Z. I installed custom Sense 3.5 but he didn't fancy it either.
I can go back to stock 2.3.5 Android as I have it in my CWM backup folder in PC, but I know it will work similar to what I have now, that's why I need a tutorial how to go back to stock 2.3.3.
TL;DR - I must flash stock 2.3.3 on GSM Marvel.
Thanks in advance

[Q] How do I update?

How do I update to 2.3.7? I get the notification but everytime I try and update it reboots to CWM and aborts.

Bump.

Latest update for us is 2.3.5
You can get 2.3.7 by flashing some custom rom, such as cm7.

I said this after someone told me what you just said... This thread doesn't even have 2 pages of posts and you can't read 2 replies before....
Regardless, I want to know how to flash an update. Would I have to uninstall CWM and install the update that way then reinstall CWM, or is there a way that is easier?

For official updates you need stock HTC recovery. That's why it boots to cwm and aborts. Try the unroot tool by rezo. It installs stock recovery for you. You can't be rooted too, I've heard. So use that tool and all should be fine.
