How can i upgrade to 2.2

Hi, i have been looking to upgrade htc desire 2.2, but i have not found anything here. As i am on t mobile i think its different upgrade i should be looking
so please help me to find the link to upgrade to 2.2 also is there any way i can use my sd card for my applications installation
thanks to all

What version you on at present (as in software version, e.g. 2.29.405.2)?

Thank you for your reply
my software number is 1.15.110.11
thanks

Wow, old software...
Right, first thing is download this file:
http://www.filefront.com/16813093/O...10.4-1.15.110.11-release0grz58nlwns0d5mw.zip/
Once downloaded, rename the file update.zip (not update.zip.zip) and copy it to the root of your SD card. Once done turn the phone off. Now, whilst holding volume down, turn it back on - if done correctly it will bring you to a white screen with some options. Once you can use the volume buttons to move to Recovery and press power to select. Once you're loaded to the black screen with the ! hold volume up and press power. Now, on the blue menu select 'apply sd:update.zip' and follow the instructions. This will update you to 1.21.110.4
Once done and rebooted go to Settings>About phone>System software updates>Check now and it should offer you 2.12.110.4 - allow it to update and you're now on Android 2.2

THANK YOU EddyOS,
I HAVE COMPLETED UPTO THE BLUE SCREEN BUT EVERY TIME I RUN UPDATE.ZIP IT ENDS UP INSTALLATION ABORTED. ANY IDEA PLEASE

What did you name the file you downloaded? it HAS to be update.zip (or just update as you won't see the .zip in Windows)

i did rename the file update.zip, should i clean up my memory before try this again ? because i have no internal memory left.

Possibly, you do need at least 25MB free I think. You could just boot into Android and check for system updates as that update should be available to you I just thought it'd be easier to do it using the file directly

i am going to check my internal memory , btw how can i update on second option (boot in to android)
thanks

i checked , i have 39 mb of internal memory , but still aborting
message coming up ''signature verification failed''

So if you check in Android for updates do you get anything?
The other way to update to 1.21.110.4, but will involve losing all data, is to download this and flash it through Windows:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
To use it, connect the phone to the PC and select 'HTC Sync' from the menu on the phone. Make sure HTC Sync is installed and showing connected on the PC and then run the RUU file

when i restared it last time , i get the message to update using wifi , i am doing it now will let you know the results

We have done it ......now its showing
android version 2.2
software number is 2.12.110.2
is there anything else i can do ?
Like install all the apps in to my sd card.
And do i need rooting ? What are the advantages ?
Thank you

Hmmm, that was the old T-Mobile update - check for updates one last time as there is now 2.12.110.4
You can now only install apps to the SD is allowed/enabled by the developer, e.g. Angry Birds installs to the SD by default.
You don NEED to root unless you wanna install tons of apps as you'd need A2SD+ which moves ALL apps to the SD card. Read up on all the sticky threads in the forums and go from there but first of all just enjoy FroYo

THANK YOU EddyOS,
I HAVE UPDATED TO 2.12.110.4, ITS MUCH FASTER THEN PREVIOUS ONE.
ONE LAST QUESTION, IF I GO FOR ROOTING MY DEVICE , WILL I LOOSE DEFAULT HTC INTERFACE, I.E WEATHER WITH CLOCK ETC ?
THANKS

If you decide to go for a non-Sense ROM then yes. Just go read up on it all but if you don't know what rooting is then don't do it until you do...just use the phone and see how you get on

THANK YOU......

[Q] sdcard update.zip question [SOLVED]

Feeling a noob to ask, even after flashing almost daily a new rom.
I want to clean some files from my sdcard. I backed up some importand files like Nand backup files from the folder clockworkmod.
I would like to know if it's save to remove the file "update.zip" or should i leave it or put it back after a reformat of my sdcard?
(If it's important to know. . . I'm running clockworkmod recovery 3.1.0.1 with s-off.)

I would copy it to your PC for safe keeping just in case.
You shouldn't need it. Once you flash a zip, the contents are unzipped and written somewhere e.g. /system for a rom. The zip is just the storage method.
Also, you downloaded it from somewhere, right? Just download again!
Still you never know. Unless you have zero space in your hard drive it can't do any harm!

I didn't download it, I think it comes from using the app clockworkmod (does someone know this?).
But you're right, It's a small file and I can put it back on the sdcard after I reformatted it.

Is this the file?
/sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery-update.zip
I think that recovery would rebuild this folder, including the zip, after a complete reformat if your sd, same as the other folders would get rebuilt by the rom.
I'm not 100% on that though, hope someone will confirm!

No, it's /sdcard/update.zip (but it's the same size as recovery-update.zip)
Oh, something complete offtopic, I see a lot of abbreviations here on the forum but I don't know what FC means.
Can someone tell me what it means?

FC=Force Close. Good you don't know it, means you don't get them?
I think your update.zip is seperate from recovery then. First advice still stands, you shouldn't need it but no harm to keep the copy. I guess you could unzip on PC to see what's in there?!

hi,
i think you are using rom manager, it should comes from this app.
if right, you should have got a folder ingherited from RM (rom manager) with another update.zip (but to be confirmed since long time a don't use anymore RM)
atm (at the moment)

Thnx for your reply's. It was usefull for me.
Can I close this topic myself and mark it as solved?

yes you can marked as solved by edit the title but yiu can t close this post

I'm not shure if you do it correctly.
After you download RAR, you need to UNRAR it on PC, and than copy DLOAD folder to SD CARD.
Than you need to unplug the phone from PC, and than you start with local update.
If this doesnt work, try to download firmware from different souce.

[Q] Help me with media issue?

So i was on g2 apps v5.5 rom for some time when all of a sudden my media stopped scanning, i wasnt sure why, rescan media apps werent working either, so i decided to flash a new rom and i chose candykat, since then all of my files that i used to have, pictures, videos, etc have completely vanished. i cant locate the files in 7 zipper, es file explorer, and media scan apps still bring me nothing. Yet my internal storage still has the same amount of space used that it did before, and also when i go into CWM and choose install a zip it shows all the folders and things that i am missing, but that is the only place i see the folders but i dont have access to my files from cwm. Also i have noticed that when i am on 7zipper looking through files my internal storage says storage/emoulated/0 and i have no idea what the emulated is about, if anyone has any info or knows what im talking about please to help, Im not too great with phone stuff but i am okay, so if anyone has any simplified steps to give me on how to fix this issue it would be appriciated, thank you.

No answers anyone?

Just do some searching mate. And use ROOT EXPLORER and give it access.

The way Kitkat makes the "SDcard"/"Internal Storage" directory is different from how it was on Jelly bean. <--EDIT: By this, I mean that the directory path is different.
The card is reading that X amount of data is on the card, yet you can't see it because your files are technically still there, but under the old directory path.
There are a couple of ways to fix this, but the EASIEST (IMO) way is to first restore a JB Nandroid backup (you can backup your KK ROM first if desired). First thing you'll notice is that the files will be there again. Now, plug your phone into your computer and copy all the files to it.
Reboot into recovery and format the internal SD. It's best to do it from within recovery, because otherwise, JB will just recreate the JB file structure and immediately start saving stuff to it. So when you get to KK, there will once again be the old structure hidden and with some files taking up space.
Now either reflash your KK rom or restore your KK backup.
Boot it up and copy your files back to the phone.
*I ran into this same issue after flashing KK for the first time. This is the exact process I did to resolve it.
Another way is to use a root file browser and locate the old directory and copy everything over to the new one. However, I think this might take quite a long time since the phone can do this only so fast.

Okay, thank you, I will try that soon and see if it works.

[Q] Cant copy files to external sd card

What the title says, i cant copy music or pictures from internal storage to ex sd without a pc... Why is this?

Most likely because you're running a 4.4 rom. Google: "new app permissions in Android KK".
You should still be able to use the stock file manager to copy files to/from your microSD, but user installed apps can no longer freely write to the microSD.
You need root to get around that.

Is there a stock file manager? And i know you cant mess with apps anymore but its really annoying that i cant move my music around, when i download a track, it goes to the phone storage instead of ext. So i have to move it, but i cant without a pc which is really really frustrating

Don't know... I have the VZW M8 but can't remember if it had a file manager on stock. My phone was on stock for about 45 minutes after I openend the box...
Root or flash that baby!

I am on CleanROM since day 1 and have not had a single reboot - ever!
Don't know which rom you tried, but if you are S-off, just flash a custom recovery and then flash SuperSU in recovery to root your stock rom. Then you can apply the KK SDcard fix from the Play Store and you're back to 4.3 behaviour as far as app permissions are concerned.
