HTC DESIRE Android update - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, Hope someone can help. My nan has an old HTC desire running Android 2.2, WhatsApp will now no longer work with anything before 2.3
How can I get this updated to 2.3 (or higher) please ??
I've tried RUU, but it gets to waiting bootloader on PC, then the bootloader appears on the phone but I get the disconnected USB error 171 everytime ??
is there another way to update to 2.3 or above ??
Or how can I get passed the error 171 ??

Help unrooting desire

Hi,
Im looking at selling my desire and need to unroot it.
I have download a tmobile RUU, tried to run it but i always get
the
error 170 - usb connected failed.
I have htc synced installed on my pc, it sees my desire and comes up with normal stuff, and on my phone it says connected.
Im on hboot 0.93 , android 2.3.3 software version 3.14.405.1
its a t mobile branded desire. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks

found solution - 2 infact.
Firstly i could do it straight from bootloader menu, (i.e. load up into bootload, plug in usb then work)
And for htc sync i just unistalled and reinstalled and worked.
