i have purchased htc desire from telus and unlocked it. no matter how many times i do ota update i dont get the 2.2? while here every1 in desire forum have 2.2? i just came from xperia x10 so i dont know much about htc phones. how do i get 2.2? please help.
wow u mean htc people no help
Anyone?????????????????????
If your phone is branded as in have stuff from TELUS on it, they would have to release a special update first. Only unbranded handsets get updates from HTC. Try searching for "unbrand"
i dont see any telus stuff
You need to root and install a debranded 2.2 firmware yourself

What he said Openfroyo is working pretty good for me (unless there is a faster one out there)
lol i dont even know what they r lol . im new to desire . how do i root n debrand n get froyo and is open desire relly the best rom for desire?
If you look around the forum there are many guides for either unbranding your phone or rooting it.
The Telus Desire will have their own official Froyo version this month (October).
It's on their site but I can't post the outside link...

Read some (sticky) topics in development. Official froyo has no root. For opendesire you need root. OpenDesire has no Sense UI. There are many roms, and all are the best for some ppl. Read and search. SEARCH before posting.

Not going to provide you with links, because that would encourage laziness
I will however point you to the development forum here, and advise that you checkout the sticky about useful links. it will provide you wit tutorials and all you need to root.

and here is a tutorial for apps2sd and rooting: http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/
there are many 2.2 roms in the rom development section, htc is yet to release the official froyo update, if you decided to go for a custom rom after rooting, most custom roms come with apps2sd ready to go, out of the box
can i still get official hhtc updates if i root with a unbranded rom ? with apps2sd on it ?
is it possible not to root but unbrand the deisre ? and still get offical updates ?

Hi guys sorry if this has been mentioned before but i think i've read every post regarding the HTC desire running 2.2.
Im a noob to this android o/s but i managed to install the stock 2.2 update on my lock T-Mobile unrooted Desire.
Anyone want to know how?
yes please...
Go on then, spread the word!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
ok firstly my mistake, i have a locked t-mobile Htc Desire, then root it, then install a custom rom then install stock RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed
then run software udate and you have a stock 2.2 rom result.
well done...
<slow hand clap>
Thread is pointless really.
A) Your title and content is completely wrong and how could you not know this when you posted originally and B) The actual rom details etc is well known to most people as there are already plenty of threads here and other forums with same info.
Wake up dude.
This thread should be torched by the mods before too many T-Mo users think this guy is a genius.
Is there difference from usual DHD?

It's probably just the batch number or something. THere can be used some different materials (like the two diffrent screen brands). But it's just the DHD. NOthing more nothing less.
There are some more version numbers

Hi Dr m0x,
how did you enchanced your DHD ?
Dear All DESIRE HD user,
Did anyone of you manage to ROOT your DHD ? z4root doesn't work with DHD !!! ....too bad....please let me know.
We're pretty much all rooted here
Have a look at the pinned threads in the development section for guides. You need to use Visionary, not z4root for DHD.

Try to take a look at this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233
Hope it helps.
When I was rooting i did stupid act, I had phone on 1.72 version, and before rooting i decided to use official upgrade to 2.36. That act costed me a lot of time and energy to downgrade but I finally managed it. I also had to use GOLDCARD (and I borrowed SD card from my daughters phone, lucky me to have a daughter who was willing to lend me her card) Long story short, just follow instructions, but before, be sure to understand every step you need to take. It would be a problem that you reach 2/3 of a way and than you find out you don't understand step or two, and your phone is turned on half way to rooting. Read instructions few times before start to do things.
Hii guys..
I am new to this forum.
I need to root my HTC DESIRE HD (gingerbread), with s/w number 2.37.720.3.
But I have learnt from many other sites and other threads in this forum that
Desire HD must be downgraded first.
There are ways to downgrade for s/w number 2.36.XX.X, but couldn't find any for 2.37.
Hope some one kind enough could help me out.
Thanks in advance guys..
Regards,
K.Sagar.
I am afraid you are stuck without root my friend, you cannot temp root 2.37 with gingerbreak and hence downgrade is impossible at present. I guess you will have to wait for HTC to open their bootloaders and then flash a custom rom with root in it.
When HTC will open DHD bootloader... only time will tell.
Thanks for the info dude..
hmm that's not a pleasant news...If I knew that I'd never go for gingerbread update. I do get htc sense error frequently. That's really annoying. so any way I'm positive that the xda pro will come up with solution.
Cheers
Hmm, I reckon someone will figure this out.
Soon, I hope!
Hope you guys at XDA will figure it out... Please find out a solution...
Thank you guys in advance..
Really awaiting a solution..
Yups, guess we all would like to know when HTC opens it's DHD bootloader ...
So did any1 find a way to root 2.37.720.3??? I m pissed with tjis stock rom...vry unstable...wifi conntection drops...no update in india ((

Hi All,
Just wondering if there is already a way to root 2.37, I can't seem to find any update on this.
Link was given 4 posts back?? Or use ACE Hack Kit on the forum.
Thanks, another question I have 2.37.707.4 is this considered a branded phone?

Not sure what you mean but if you want to DOWNGRADE and root your device just follow these guides and you should be fine:
1. Downgrade

Hi
i am new to the android scene after being an apple fan for many years, and im now in the process of trying to install a custom rom.
I have used to ace hack to allow root access, and want to change to virgin media rom to an unbranded version, but the problem i have is i cannot find a unbranded custom firmware. I have found various different versions but worried about getting he wrong one. Im not sure if this info is needed but here it is anyway:
HTC Desire HD
android version
2.3.3
HTC sence version
2.1
software number
2.36.351.16
if anybody can point me to where i can find an unbranded bootrom for my phone i would be very grateful.
cheers
