Whilst his style of writing is not endearing to most I do agree with him. Having 15 responses about 'its not here in the UK' is just spam especially when people quote HTC saying 'it won't be out till X date'. Whilst it is nice to now you're not missing out, spamming the thread with 'its not here' really doesn't help anyone, even more so when half of the replies on the page consist of such messages.

Whether he's using a custom Rom (like myself) doesn't matter at all, OTA releases are still important to modders, but obviously less so, who can then implement features into their roms. Plus it's just nice to know that everyone is getting updates.

I'm not saying lets have no responses of 'its not here in X country' but if you see 5 others on the same page saying it, there's no need to post it. And anyways we should all be happy, we're getting Gingerbread :D
[Desire HD General] ToneyEricsson:
Does anyone know is it possible to root with visionary or other once you get the 2.3 update? It's just I would like to get all my apps for rooted device working after the update.

By the way I see on the HTC UK Facebook page it says their in the final testing stages.
[Desire HD General] LeeArden:
hi,

thanks for your reply but what i meant was is there a way to save the OTA file to pc? is it saved somewhere on the SD? sorry for being unclear, english is not native for me. thank you
[Desire HD General] r0cafella:
when you download the file it will save straight to your desktop, once it's downloaded just double click it and run the file, instructions appear on screen from there.

this file should NOT Be run from your phone.

Still no news for us over here in Singapore. Have been checking the software updater for the past few days.
[Desire HD General] Vakas:
Thanks for clearing that up...
[Desire HD General] Vakas:
There will be an updated version of sense too won't there with 2.3?
[Desire HD General] mjt:
Well said...
[Desire HD General] ElmarK:
I have an unbranded DHD. Bought throug the German expansys website. Was delivered through French expansys subsidary. No update until now. A friend has a German Vodafone modell and already got the OTA.

Any expansys customer here with an uodate?
[Desire HD General] smolam:
I have OTA 2.36.405.8 and the phone disconnects from wifi more offen than previsious stock rom. I know other 2 people with the same problem after upgrade. From what I found the problem is that in this ROM if your wifi signal goes under -88 dBm than connection will be dropped. This is problem, because when i am watching movie on the phone or internet tv i have my hand at the back of it (so i will be able to reflect sound from speaker :) who the hell designed that phone with main speaker on the back side?) and it covers antenna and signal drops. With 2.2 stock ROM wifi holds without problem.

I just updated today and now I've the same problem (robot+eexclamation mark); didi you resolve? and how?
[Desire HD General] kilo965:
Sorry, was intended to be a private msg but I did something wrong.

Anyway, an update. After removing the battery my HD restarted exactly how it was before (2.2) and I got in the notification window the message "update ready for installation - probably because the file is on my SD card). Tried a couple of times again, but always with the same result (droid and a big exclamation mark :-@).

Tomorrow I'll delete the file on my SD and try to download again (maybe corrupted file?).

Thanks and ..sorry for the mistake.
[Desire HD General] naimmkassim:
I read this cases problem happen before to many person. Mainly the problem is due to they remove the stock application bootloader etc. That's why when they upgrade OTA, the stock rom will not able to update certain application due to already removed by the user, at the end it will stuck at triangle symbol.. OTA is only updated the rom (that why we still have all our contact, sms data), its not totally wipe/factory reset our phone and install new fresh rom.

I also read, you can overcome this problem by install back RUU stock rom first before you upgrade OTA.

:)
[Desire HD General] talmoshe:
No OTA in Israel yet

I'm still waiting for my device to show me the new version
[Desire HD General] kilo965:
Thanks for tha advice. I'm not sure I really got your point; I didn't change anything in my original HTC (just installing tons of apps from market :-P) as it came from the shop. I'd like to move to 2.3 w/o wiping my Desire and as far as I know the only way is to do it by OTA. Did you mean I've to install/uninstall something before upgrading? And if yes, will this wipe out the device?

Thanks again.
[Desire HD General] naimmkassim:
Is your phone is stock rom? No rooted etc? If yes, then i'm sorry as what I mention before is what happen to others where they root and uninstall some of the stock rom application.

Anyway, maybe you did install something from market that corrupted the system. Maybe you can list-up the application you install from market, and someone from xda can answer your problem.:D
[Desire HD General] kilo965:
-> Ok, got you ;-) My phone is not routed, therefore I'm surprised.

Thanks a lot, I'll do it soon ;)
[Desire HD General] kilo965:
Latest news. This morning I deleted the file downloaded yesterday and tried a new download. After that, I was asked to start the installation.

The phone shuts down, it restarts with the standard white HTC screen, then it becomes black and the installation starts (with progress bar on the screen). Afer a while (a couple of minutes more or less) ....the triangle with the exlamation mark ..AGAIN!! After removing battery the phones restarts like nothing happened in the meanwhile, it comes up with all the customized things, programs etc etc.

The good news is that now the "failing" process is known and always the same ...till the triangle. The bad news ....is that I'd like to solve it :-D

PS: while on black screen with the triangle nothing works; even tried volume up+power and volume dn+power .....no reactions.

[Desire HD General] Bartuc0711:
I recieved the OTA for my unbranded Desire HD yesterday. My Provider is Sunrise (Switzerland), but the phone is unbranded.

I thought I post my experience, because some people where concerned what to do to apply the update after they rooted their Phone.

I first tried to install the update, but it failed and i was seeing the little android robot with an exclamation mark like some other people already described.

Since I rooted and made my DHD eng S-Off and Radio S-Off I wasn't surprised.

I thought it would be, because I flashed the ClockworkMod Recovery.

Today I had a little time and flashed the original Recovery back onto the phone from the appropriate RUU to try updating again.

The Update worked flawlessly with the original Recovery.

The only thing left is to get root again, check Radio S-Off and Eng S-Off and flash back the ClockworkMod Recovery.

New F/w and GPS problem.

Hi,

we all know that

some

phones have problem with GPS (7 or 8 or 9... satellites are found, all FIXED but gps will not start). GPS STATUS fix the problem for a day or two. I hoped that new F/w will solve this problem. But on my new updated phone, this problem still persist.

Any new solution ?

Regards.
[Desire HD General] philtrick:
Downloading update here in Ireland.

This is on a Vodafone branded firmware.

Installing now!
[Desire HD General] sromer:
I got sick of waiting and just used the RUU.

Worked perfectly and my phone is running heaps faster :D
[Desire HD General] nickhuk:
Same here!

Downloaded RUU and extracted PD98IMG folder and installed via SD Card (to save Win7 64 bit driver issues) google done a good job at automatically restoring all my apps and settings

great reward for 3 minutes "work"

no problems with WIFI or anything - like earlier posts suggested
[Desire HD General] angelahp:
I have looked and searched and looked and searched but i cannot find what i'm looking for, which is basically how to do this for stupid people :D

I have downloaded the gingerbread rom to the root on my sd card

I have switched off fast boot

I have switched off !!

I have switched on at the same time pressing volume down button

I have got the white page up, it's giving me a list of 4 things i might want to do, fast boot, recovery, factory reset etc

What do i do ??

I did go to recovery and got the triangle exclamation mark thing and lost my nerve (this is the reason i can't downgrade, i have no testicles) so i pulled the battery.

I'm a musician and therefore have no tech savvy but would love to put this rom on my phone, however .... if anyone wants to know how many demi semi quavers there are in a dotted crotchet then i'm your girl :p

I have the Desire HD 2.2.1 unlocked bought from CPW, and am therefore stuck playing the waiting game for Gingerbread like a lot of people

I also have no patience in playing waiting games :o

Thank you xx

Angie

It's OK ........ I just did it WOOP WOOP :D:D:D:D
[Desire HD General] smudgelab:
:eek:Gulp, I'm trying this but mine has been stuck at the red triangle for 5 minutes... How long should I wait before wishing I hadn't done this please?:confused:

Stock, unbranded Tmob sim card, almost full 16GB card if this makes any difference...
[Desire HD General] angelahp:
i made the big mistake of thinking i had to load the rom file to my sd card .... you don't

if you can find the file on your computer it's a blue square right ?? then it's the same as the one i downloaded.

With your phone switched on, connect your phone to the computer in "charge only" mode, then go to that app on your computer and double click to run it.

then it basically does it all for you, just keep clicking ok LOL

took just under 10 mins to load

I have no problems at all with wifi

angie :)

[Desire HD General] kilo965:
Latest news: I got the deinitive (maybe) evidence that ....I'm a donkey :p:cool::p

In few words I discovered yesterday evening that I had "Fast boot" enabled ...and for this reason my device was never really powering off! :mad: After disabling "fast boot" I was exited and sure that everything was fixed but ......it wasn't :mad::(:mad:

Launched the upgrade again .....and still the triangle with the exclamation mark!!!!

The good news is that now, if I power-off the phone and plug in the USB (power) cable...I'm getting the ClockworkMod Recovery screen (v2.5.1.3) with following choices:

- reboot system now

- apply sdcard:update.zip

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cash partition

- install zip from sdcard

- backup and restore

- mounts and storage

- advanced

Yuppi!!!! ...and now?:eek:

Considering that I've downloaded the 2.3 OTA, should I select "apply sdcard:update.zip"? I'd like to update avoiding phone wipe ;)

Thanks for your help and ......patience :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] smudgelab:
Hi angie & thank you for taking the time to reply. I did what you did, bottled it, took out the battery, rebooted & downloaded a different file I came across on here - one from a site called "ilovebath.co.uk" or something & then did exactly as you have. All working atreat now! Thanks again for your help & informative post. :D
[Desire HD General] eyeofthetiger:
Hi. I have got sick and tired if waiting for ota update so i will try RUU update. I just wanted to check wether wether the phone has to be rooted first? Just want to be absolutely sure :)
[Desire HD General] smudgelab:
Hi, no idea about rooting or any of that palaver but mine is a stock, unbrnaded, unlocked UK HD with a TMob sim in it. HTH :-)
[Desire HD General] Loenhoet:
Hi, I have a non-branded Deisre HD. Some time ago, I rooted it, using the downgrade precedure (including Radio-Off and S-Off). Now I want to upgrade to Gingerbread, preferably using OTA (since I then will keep my settings). However, when I download the OTA and apply it, it fails (since I have the ClockworkMod Recovery).

I have searched the forums, but I'm very confused how to proceed. I don't want to brick my phone. Is it possible to apply the update without a hard-reset?
[Desire HD General] ujkadusko:
www.iloveabath.co.uk, search for RUU folder,then pick a ACE2.36 stock and that's it
[Desire HD General] eyeofthetiger:
Have u applied gingerbread or r u still 2.2?
[Desire HD General] rory1980:
Hi there, If you have rooted your phone and accept the OTA update you risk loosing root access. Do you have S-OFF?
[Desire HD General] flo1980:
I got also an issue.

The update process stopped (Red exclamation mark) because of

"assert failed : apply_patch_check("/system/xbin/crasher"

I supposed some application had been uninstalled but which one?

How can I restore this application without wipe the device?

My dhd is rooted off and unbranded.

Thx in advance

Really glad you have it sorted, I've had no problems at all, have you ?

Xxx
[Desire HD General] +Nybras+:
On the HTC UK Facebook page, htc have replied to someones message saying "the update for HTC Incredible S will roll out for SIM-free handsets and operator-locked handsets at the same time" I expect this also means the DHD seems they're supposed to be rolling out at the same time pretty much.

So I guess we're waiting for all the operators to sort it out.. This is so WRONG WRONG WRONG. I don't get why the rest of unbranded europe gets it and we don't
[Desire HD General] smudgelab:
I don't want to tempt fate, have fingers crossed & have thrown salt over me shoulder... but... so far so good, wifi's great, google reset most of my app's & all of my contacts, text messages have been restored, gps locks on pretty quickly so yes, big thanks again for the post... chuffed to bits so far & nothing to be concerned over... woo & indeed hoo!:)
[Desire HD General] dalanik:
Just got the update in Czech on O2... That's what happens when I don't check here often - I get the update 6 days late! :)

Am I the only one having the feeling that new Android gingerbread is much smoother (not to say faster) than the froyo, at least in scrolling, visible things etc?
[Desire HD General] iridium21:
If any of you didn't know, HTC UK have now stated on their Facebook page that this update won't be available to UK DHD owners until at least the 16th May at the earliest.
[Desire HD General] AJMB:
I got sick of wating so I installed LeeDroid 3.0.3 .
[Desire HD General] modlar:
AJMB,

how works GPS on Your Leedroid ?
[Desire HD General] stezo2k:
I found Leedroid annoying tbh, seemed buggy and I found my battery life worse. I went back to the latest stock ROM

I'm currently waiting for the Gingerbread UK OTA update, cheers for the updated info, not long now :)

Eventually I may install another custom ROM when a more complete sense 3.0 ROM out
[Desire HD General] AJMB:
It's working fine with me ^_^
[Desire HD General] society mike:
Just got OTA gb update today from softbank japan.
[Desire HD General] tomegranate:
Does anyone know whether applying the RUU update could prevent future OTA updates for a unbranded phone?

I'm *this* close to applying the Gingerbread RUU.

edit: already done it. Went smooth and quickly once I figured out how to get past an Error 170 USB issue. Not noticing any major differences yet, except the quick settings panel under notifications. Am I missing much?
[Desire HD General] iridium21:
To flash the leaked ROM from the SD card, what does rom.zip need to be renamed to?
[Desire HD General] Vakas:
Guys HTC has confirmed updates will be available on the 16th of may

Unless you don't have stock android or the carrier has put their own custom version on. For these people updates will come at a later date.
[Desire HD General] Anant:
where are you from?
[Desire HD General] Vakas:
UK
[Desire HD General] marts8:
Hey guys, just wondering: I'm based in the Philippines but I'm spending this week in London. IF my phone receives the update while I'm there would that possibly cause any problems when i get back home? Thanks!

DHD unlocked and unbranded (as far as i can tell), unrooted, practically a virgin...for now:p
[Desire HD General] LeeArden:
i might be wrong but i think if your rom is regioncoded to asia, it will automatically check the servers for that region so it won't get the UK update. you can tell what region your rom is from the rom version (i.e. x.xx.707.x is asian)
[Desire HD General] marts8:
Yeah, I do have that version. Thanks for clearing that up!
[Desire HD General] stewarta13wsb:
I got mine three of days ago (UK & unbranded phone) and the download was fine but the install blocked the phone - it wouldn't switch on.

Battery out and back in and all went well..... however - it's done the same thing twice since. Switch off at night and sometimes it doesn't switch back on without taking out the battery.

Also had a couple of apps not working. The main one is the handy app for seeing what's using the battery etc., which was recommended here - spare parts.

I'm going to try 'spare parts plus' which it says is updated for 2.3 - as an update it doesn't work either - says it couldn't find battery stats!

Someone with a HTC HD7 had told me they had the same issue and it was related to leaving wi-fi on or a charging issue when you switch it off??

Anybody heard anything or had this issue?

What else should I be noticing with 2.3?
[Desire HD General] Phillmitchell:
How can you have uk update when its not released here yet ? you either flashed the update or your phone is branded.
[Desire HD General] stewarta13wsb:
I just did a manual check for updates and it was there?

Bought phone SIM FREE from Play.com. Do you want to know the software number or something?

Android Version 2.3

build number 2.36.405.8 CL47853

software number 2.36.405.8
[Desire HD General] strikexx:
Wow, I just downloaded and installed the 2.3 update, and my camera is WAAAY better than in 2.2. Now the flash works decently, and pictures taken in the dark look AWESOME.

Gotte love HTC!!
[Desire HD General] houston_:
I heard there was a OTA some days ago, so checkd for a OTA.

But instead of using the Stock i am now sticking on Android Revolution HD with the official HTC-Update-Version 5.1.4.

I have to say it works awesome:)

i like the new quick settings, no need for the extended-quicksettings-app :D

And the App-Manager (Applist) is loading much much muuuch faster ;) That was kind of annoying in 2.2 ... the very long loading till all apps were listed ...

What is better about the Camera-App or Flash? I havent tested it but dont know what was wrong before :/
[Desire HD General] Potion2:
any guide to upgrade from custom rom to OTA GB update without manually flash the RUU?
[Desire HD General] houston_:
I dont think that is working.

For every CustomRom it says "do a complete wipe before changing the rom"

I think the same is nessesary for the stock rom.

What rom are you using?
[Desire HD General] Potion2:
thanks for the quick reply, currently using leedroid GB 3.0.3 with his kernal 3.0.4. the "do a complete wipe before changing rom" means I need to restore to stock 1.32 rom back?
[Desire HD General] houston_:
Wait, i just checked my other forum (a german one).

If you want back to a stock-rom, you only need to rune the RUU.

if for the new version, 2.36, already one published, use that.

Other ways 1.32 and then the OTA.
[Desire HD General] strikexx:
Well, now the flash goes on, off and back on very shortly, like a real camera.

The focus is just right, on 2.2 the camera quality in low lighting was just terrible for me, now it's gorgeous :) now there is also autofocus for 720p video recording
[Desire HD General] Potion2:
so I can flash the 2.36 RUU direct from CWM?
[Desire HD General] houston_:
i dont think you need the CWM.

If you use the *.exe then you dont need it.

If you use a *zip ... i think you need to wipe, since the rom isn't untouched.

If i know it right, the RUU only exist as a executable since it is a ROM(?) Update Utility.

I think you want the already rooted update right?

Me was said , to make a wipe if i want the touched update.
[Desire HD General] Potion2:
was asking for OTA update but yeah, I manage to understand what you trying to say.
[Desire HD General] Marcdu81:
Hello,update tonight for me !

[Desire HD General] sromer:
I updated last week with the RUU , and since the update battery life has been great.

According to "battery use" my phone's been on for 1d 1h 9m & it's at 62% :D
[Desire HD General] faugusztin:
I know i'm a super low user (15m via skype, 30s call, 4-5 SMS, email notifications, few app updates with wifi and 3G on all the time), but 53% battery remaining after 2d 5h 5m on battery ;).

I'm pretty sure that the guys with battery problems either use Sense or some other application which drains the battery quickly (but it's not the Dialer as some claim, i have high Dialer % but still as you can see, insane battery life). I had bad battery life before factory reset too, but after the reset it looks like a dream.
[Desire HD General] kudoboi:
still no update in asia? fk this
[Desire HD General] magnum73:
Don't update yet...too many bugs!
[Desire HD General] LeeArden:

[Desire HD General] magnum73:

[Desire HD General] Marcdu81:
Hello,the name for me is : OTA_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2_36_405_8_R-1_32_405_6_release_187434em4h8vxqx0xssxyf downloaded last night . For the moment, no bugs identified ...
[Desire HD General] Vakas:
Got the update about an hour ago. All installed and ready to go.

Not used it much so can't really say anything about any performance increase yet.

Visuall, sense has been updated like on the newer S devices. The app tray has been updated where much can switch from All, Frequent and Downloaded apps.

You can now access quick shortcuts from the notifications area. Also when you dial a number or receive a call the callers number now looks very small.

Other than that can't see much visual change.

There is no animated lock screen like on the Nexus S and the menus do not have the orange colour when you scroll up and down though the menus.

It's more HTC skining rather than stock Android 2.3.

The software version on the phone is now 2.3.3
