I have my wife's Wildfire S s-offed, rooted and uploaded the shipped european ROM.
Will be an OTA update available for this phone, or we won't get it because of the s-off?
I don't think there will be any OTA updates for Wildfire S, I am open to correction though....
HTC's customer service suggested me to check for updates in the settings menu. Of course I've already tried that without success.

Ko_Ka, and how would a possible update to Gingerbread 2.3.5 come to our phones if not OTA? I'm not expecting HTC to tell customers to use RUU's...
Also there is still the possibility that ICS will hit the WFS. For now HTC announced the 1st wave of phones getting the upgrade but like they say (and I quote) "We're continuing to assess our product portfolio, so stay tuned for more updates on device upgrades, timing and other details about HTC and Ice Cream Sandwich.". This came from HTC Facebook page.
The Wildfire S wasn't released that long ago and should be perfectly capable of running Ice Cream Sandwich...

Assuming we have root access by then (I really hope we do) will you be waiting for HTC to release the Sense version of it or are you going to upgrade to stock Android in the meantime?

after having experienced android being, modded by htc and then buggered by orange, i'm hoping we can root the desire as i'd like to go straight to a pure android o/s

same here i hate what orange has done to the rom it descusts me since this is my first branded handset for about 5 years now and i am used to the generic version got very good and the flashing process on winmo now stuck on android v.confusing.
Don't hold your breath Read this:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...s-in-may-require-froyo-we-have-sign-up-links/
If this is true ... FroYo (the next Android OS build iteration) will be next month together with Flash 10.1.
Then we can pray every night to have root access + write permission to the system partition !
I really hope we do have root access. Not having proper flash is really bugging me.
Either we get root or HTC Have a sense version very quick after the FroYo release.
Doesn't the HTC Evo 4g have froyo? Would be ported over.

The 2.1 update for the Hero still hasn't been released despite 2.1 having been released a good while ago.
But then again, the EVO 4G and the Desire have the exact same level of processing power so I don't see why HTC would delay the update in any way.
Let's hope HTC don't let us down.
whats the problem with the Flash thats on the desire? I have not had any non-loading flash sites at all yet

It gets bogged down by heavy sites. I want flash to work just aswell as it does on my desktop.
New flash version will most probably have hardware acceleration, and all the functions flash 10.1 has on the desktop.
And -hopefully- it will be a fully optimized version of Flash. So it's actually doable on a mobile device. But I guess that is the only way for it to be succesful.
And just to be prepared, I'm programming all my new flash applications to be able to run on mobile devices (min resolution of 800x480). I'm going openscreen project, multiplatform, multi os, multi mobile devices!
If the rumors about the change in how the OS will update then I cannot see too much trouble sorting out Sense for it as it will only be compatibility checks with the core components and allow for any new core features.
Plus going by @gogol's post there will be a lot of pressure on HTC to release Sense quick smart for it with full Flash support. For all we know HTC may already be working on it just because we don't know whats coming with Froyo doesn't mean the companies haven't got a pre-release ROM

They more than likely do as they are releasing the EVO 4G with FroYo in about 2-3 weeks.
I'm guessing that Android 2.2 will be released within the next 2 - 2 1/2 weeks and that HTC will either release the Sense version of 2.2 at the same time or at the very very latest at the same time as the EVO.
Forgive my ignorance but will htc upgrade the android os on the desire to froyo when it is released or are we stuck with eclair unless we root the device?
has anyone got this?
when i check on my fone it says no updates
any info on the change log?
From the HTC website:
HTC said:
Update: Android 2.2 and HTC Sense update.

So, potentially this could be the update to bring Sense in-line with the HD interface? (Just hypothesising, I have no evidence!)
I haven't got this update showing on my phone either. (Yet! ;-) )
EDIT: Just noticed that that info is only on the South-East Asia version of HTC.com, so it could be a local firmware variation (I hope not!).

No new Sense, just stock FroYo update
What software version are you on now?

hi there
whats the differences?if any
im on 2.09.405.8 CL218634 release-keys
You're unbranded so you can't use that anyway. There'd be no differences, though - it's just released later than your one (although there is now 2.10.405.2 and 2.29.405.2)
Did you debrand your Desire or has it always been on that version?
always been like that
i updated to froyo using the update.zip method a few months ago
okay so theres nothing new in this update
Get this one then as well...
http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_HTC_EU_2.10.405.2-2.09.405.8_releaseol2djq7rqarka2ka.zip
It's not that there's nothing new per se, it's just not relevent to your unit - you can only update to x.xx.405.x
I wish there were proper changelogs so we can see a reason to upgrade or not sometimes
Well, 2.29.405.2 has the RIL update to work with the radio I'm guessing. It's a very solid ROM and I'm happy with it at present
Will there be an Official Gingerbread RUU for Desire in future for unrooted phones?
Probably. HTC has stated that Desire will get GB in 2011q2, also confirmed by some carriers like 3 UK.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Here you have a list of phones that will get GB:
-desire (april, may)

any chance of pointing me in teh direction of said RUU?
Cheers
No RUU available, only leaked test ROM - try Leedroid 3.0.7 0 that's based on it.
Try RcmixS 2.0. Its GB Sense 2.1+3.0 from Sensation Rom
But there´s no GB RUU for Desire yet.
HTC Desire [UPDATED 6/14/11]: After promising an Android 2.3 upgrade for its HTC Desire handset, HTC said in mid-June that it had determined the phone would not be able to handle the Gingerbread software along with its integrated Sense UI. In a statement posted to Facebook, HTC said it's "been forced to accept there isn’t enough memory to allow [it] both to bring Gingerbread and keep the HTC Sense experience on the HTC Desire." HTC went on to say it was "sincerely sorry for the disappointment." British carrier Three had previously indicated the software would be ready to roll out to the Desire by the end of May. The carrier later said HTC hadn't "been able to meet the late May timings that were set."

HTC Nederlands announced that you have to use a custom ROM when you will have Sense and Gingerbread
And another phone is stuck in an old android version because of the manufacturer interface. I love Sense but the simplest solution could be:
- the ROM contains only android
- an extra app which install the interface
but then the interface is now longer an argument to but a device from this manufacturer because you can then install it everywhere. Then only the hardware counts...

1.
I know I am running InsertCoin 1.0.8 CM7 and have not used any original RUU since a long time but not providing the official ROM and relying fully to custom ROMs is wrong.
Not everyone can/wanna root their devices because they are afraid to loose the warranty by doing so or simply because they do not have enough basic knowledge to do it.
Not all Desire owners are all computer freaks like most of the people here in the forum (including me), some are simply complete illiterate about computer.
Even, I have thought about loosing the warranty over, over and over until I decided to root my Desire and to flash a custom ROM before I got the flashing addiction.
2.
Not supporting old devices with updates is acceptable but Desire is not that old. The device has to be older than 2 years before stopping any update.
Stop, htc never say, that they stop the support or never an update for the desire will come.
Only, an upgrade(!) to gingerbread is not possible.
Looks like they've retracted the statement and the HTC will be getting Gingerbread, with Sense though?
techmagister.com/2011/06/15/desire-will-get-gingerbread-htc-uk-changed-their-words-again
I think what they'll do is keep the old version of sense. I would not be willing to give up any more space on my desire, it has barely enough room for all the apps I want, so they won't update sense.

All,
Now that we have got the 2.3 update (2.3.3) for GB here in the UK, on unbranded handsets, I was wondering if we would hear anything further about 2.3.4 update.
I was just checking the Android website, and there's a 2.3.4 platform, which is a maintenance update to the 2.3 platform.
Anybody has any ideas / thoughts about whether we'll see any further updates to our DHD?

HTC UK Hi Rakib, we are only updating Desire HD with the Gingerbread version 2.3.3.
I have already thought about compiling 2.3.4 because 2.3.3 has a security hole when using wi-fi connection. I may compile it next month...
Hi. Malaysian here. I only upgrade to 2.3.3 this morning.
CM7 Nightly are 2.3.4
I downloaded the offical ruu to my un-rooted uk HTC_001 one x. I then Pinged the Htc servers for the software update and the first ota update came up. Once installed the second ota update with jellybean was available to download and installed. i now have Jelly bean on HTC one X. I didnt have to do anything with the offical ruu that i got from htcruu.com
Jelly Bean lands in the UK!

Just got myJelly Bean update on a UK HTC One X Cid_001 version. 6pm tonight, pinged HTC for software updates and up came a little one. Then came the big one.
Took a good 30 minutes from start to finish to download but well worth the wait. Hugely faster, smoother, quicker flciking between apps, much faster app start-up. People were saying before, what's the bother, nowt wrong with ICS, but I can tell you this is massively quicker. Not much more to it than that really. Few more graphics, etc, but it's just the speed.
What? There are at least 500 jellybean threads, and you've just started Nr 501...
