[Q] Download Froyo 2.2

Hi All,
Please bear with me - I'm a late Desire joiner.
I've been reading the Froyo update threads but haven't found an answer.
Phone is UAE version, Arabic and English, and has ROM v 2.1xx on it.
The updater says there is no update.
How can I download the stock HTC 2.2 ROM, please?
All help much appreciated.

OK - I've been to the HTC website and 2.2 is not available for my phone - I guess that this is because they haven't got around to the Arabic yet!
So, I'd like to install a UK English version of 2.2 - where can I get it?

Check you screen
Hi,
Im a fellow newbie HTC Desire user. I just rooted my Desire now running on custom ROM. I think you need to check first if you have SLCD or AMOLED screen. Most RUUs are not compatible with SLCD Desire phone.
You can re-direct to Informative Threads, Links & Info - READ THIS FIRST ! thread and refer to [ROM] Official HTC Desire RUU ROMS and OTA Update URLs.
Hope this helps.

Many thanks.
I've installed roms before on my WinMo phones quite happily.
But, this time I'd like to stay with the stock rom from HTC, so I just want to upgrade to 2.2 for the improved functionality ........ I think I need to fool HTC into thinking that the phone is in the UK and it will upgrade OTA?
Hmmm ..... whwre to download the official HTC Froyo?

all RUUs in the link are authenticated by HTC = not custom ROM. Just download the RUU for your region and then upgrade to 2.2 via OTA. Just confirm first that you have AMOLED screen. As i said, most RUUs are not compatible with SLCD screens.

Right, thanks, I'm beginning to understand.
How can I tell if my phone has the amoled screen?
Thanks for your patience!

np
Just a heads up, it might take a while installing ROM on your Desire (30 minutes or so) so dont panic if you see the HTC logo with white background for a while.

OK, I'm getting closer to doing it - maybe at the weekend.
How do I know which type of screen it has?

Hi,
You can follow the procedure in one of the threads here. Also, normally, most phones sold after Aug 2010 are all SLCD screens.
However, I advise you to just sent an email to HTC Customer Service to be 100% sure (this is what i did).

I do believe that if you are upgrading to Froyo then screen type doesn't matter because it has both sets of drivers anyway. Also I think there is a list of official download find in the developers section of this site.;0-)

Root & Rom

Hello guys i have htc desire by telus. which is still stuck with 2.1 and very slow and laggy. and dont wana wait for telus 2.2 cuz it doesnt sounds promising.
so how easy is it to root and put rom leedroid on my desire? what are the chances to bricked the phone?
please share your taughts and help me and if u guys could provide link for easier root and put rom that be great. thanks

anyone? please help

please read the stickies in the adroid development forum

i did but there is soo many im new. so i dont know which to use. and i youtube the video its all in different language. so its confusing

The guides are made for new people. If you dont understand them I'd lay off rooting your desire as you could brick it

Hey buddy. I was in a similar situation as you, on the edge of rooting.
I also have a Telus-branded HTC Desire. The method I used was : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=763558 with this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044 for reference.
Its fairly painless. I have been hoping back and for between AuraSense, SenseHD, Miui, and Leedroid.
Found if you don't have a dire need for Camera, SenseHD is the way to go.
Otherwise, I've been enjoying the latest Leedroid.

If you are having problems following the guides, it may not be a good idea to root. However rooting the Desire is very easy (at least the GSM version).
I used unrEVOked to root, just download from their site, switch USB Debugging mode on, plug in and start the app ... it takes care of the rest.
I have used DeVillain, LeeDroid, and OpenDesire. LeeDroid is very good. I have personally stuck with Cyanogenmod. Very easy to install and the fastest benchmarks of the lot. Only problem .. no Sense .. but LauncherProPlus can do most of the sense stuff.
Happy hacking.

[Q] How do I root my DHD? (2.50.45.2)

Hey, I´ve used the search tool, but couldn´t find anything.
I would like to Root my HTC Desire HD, so I can Install the new Android Revolution 6.x (Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 )
My Phone is currently running:
Android 2.3.3
Sense 2.1
Baseband Version 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel Version 2.6.35.10
Build Number 2.50.405.2
Software Number 2.50.405.2
My Phone has no branding!
Is rooting possible for me?
Can Someone please help me?
I am totaly new to rooting, so I would appreciate a step by step tutorial.

That makes two of looking for the same information, any help out there please

YES rooting is possible.
I rooted my Dhd about two weeks ago and all went well.
I spent about a week reading lots of different sites. All using different methods in the end I used a guide on driphter.com
Forum > Everything Android > HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G > General Discussion > [GUIDE] Downgrade, Root, Radio & Eng S-OFF DHD/Inspire 4G in 9 Steps
if your unbranded you can skip the goldcard step.
i also had to download the PD98IMG using my phone and move it to the root (not in any folder) of the sd card using astro
the only other step i changed was to install visionary+ from blackmart alpha (google it. Its a blackmarket market) the install from the toolkit didn't work for me.
JSL is very good/quick to answer questions on that fourm.
Hope this helps.

You need s-off to flash new roms its an added security HTC add.
I think it stands for security off but i'm not 100% sure if anyone wants to correct me/let mr know please do.

[Q] HTC Desire questions

hello guys, im a happy new member of the desire community .
I have came from a Sony Ericsson Xperia x8, which i a little different in terms of modding your roms and radios... I have looked around the threads for a while now and not really found anything what answers my question, so sorry if there maybe a duplicate don't burn me if there is i have tried.
I know how to root my phone and the recovery installation as i had an old HTC wildfire what i broke but am not familiar with unlocking and flashing bootloaders hence why i need your help.
But i would like some help or answers regarding my HTC so here we go...
Well first of all the HTC is locked onto the orange network, i am currently on three so how could i get my phone unlocked... possibly free?
Also when i get my HTC unlocked if i flash things like new radios, roms, bootloaders ETC... will my phone remain unlocked or become locked again?
Also what is the first rom i should try out? I would want a fast one whats stable but maybe perhaps android 4.0 or above, can you guys give me some suggestions please thanks.
Ps: Sorry for the wall of text i want to make sure i get things right and don't brick my phone in the process of unlocking. :fingers-crossed:

[Q] HTC Desire HD - ROM

Hi ALL
I am very new to this forum and very little knowledge about ROM installation or (upgrading Mobile OS). This is a fact that there is no official Operating System update (sandwich or jelly beans OS) for HTC desire HD. However, custom made OS for HTC are available. According to my understanding these custom made mobile OS are called ROMs (consfusing for non-technical person) but every day is a learning day. I come to the point, the purpose of this thread to understand all this process to update my HTC desire HD. I have got few questions to ask which are as follows.
1. My HTC Desire HD is locked on "3" network. Can I still install Rom?
2. I need to know A-Z process in a simple and plain english please. I need step by step guide or in simple words "ROM for Dummies"
3. Which Rom is better? ( I know that this question could not be answered but for your conveniance I am giving these options which were I found from some website
1. MIUI
2. ParanoidAndroid
3. PAC Rom
4. AOKP
5. Cyanogenmod
6. AOSP
Could anyone answer all these question please?
Thanks
Riz

The first two questions have already been answered time and time again on these forums. Start with the Ace Think Tank thread in DHD General. Your third question is not permitted because every person has a different "better" ROM. Each has different features; you'll just need to try it for yourself.
