Put the file in the root of your SD card and turn off your phone (without Fastboot)

Turn your phone back on, but keep pressing the Volume Down button while it's booting.

It should show up the HTC boot logo and after that you'll see a simpel white screen with some coloured text. Just follow the steps on the screen than ;)

The uploaded OTA is for 1.72 devices, not sure if it will run on 1.32 devices. Be sure you have 1.72 before you try to update it ;)
[Desire HD General] iridium21:
Check now...Check now...Check now...

Nope, nothing here in the UK as yet :( Well, not for me anyway.

Anyone in the UK here on xda got this yet?
[Desire HD General] bloke:
Nope, UK on unbranded, on O2, nothing yet......
[Desire HD General] iridium21:
Bugger...

[Apparently, the message was too short before I added this :p]
[Desire HD General] sromer:
I tried that, and still got errors.

I'm on 1.72 :confused:
[Desire HD General] claptnei:
Nope, nothing here in the UK as yet :-( for me either.

T-Mobile unbranded.
[Desire HD General] shithead:
You better don't update.

Mhm sorry...It's holding down the Volume Down button and turning on the device. You need to keep pressing the Volume Down button..And you should go directly into the bootloader (so no HTC boot logo, my bad)
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
This update won't work on your phone since yours is branded and for the volume thing, disable fastboot in Menu > Settings > Applications.
[Desire HD General] inspektor:
Norway,downloading now
[Desire HD General] mrhahn98:
is there anyway to know if my phone is branded or unbranded ?
[Desire HD General] EddyOS:

[Desire HD General] mrhahn98:
my kernel version is 2.6.32.21 and my build number is 1.32.163.6 . That means my phone is branded ? is there anyway i can brand it ? just factory reset or anything ?

Also can i install the update from 1.32 in the zip file downloaded if its branded and not rooted. Thanks very much !
[Desire HD General] MrKaon:
Unbranded UK orange, nothing here at the moment
[Desire HD General] joshoon:
HTC told on their twitter that some Sense 3.0 components will come to older devices that will work on it.
[Desire HD General] gogol:
After updated to 2.3, do you loose Facebook Sync?

Nexus S does not have this as google banned facebook sync on 2.3.
[Desire HD General] biohaz55:
Sense 3 was never going to come with this update to Gingerbread. At the moment the only phones that will get Sense 3 will be the new phones soon to be released. HTC are supposed to have said that some components of it may reach older devices but, if so, that will be some future update I guess.

As for the new lockscreen.... that too is a Sense 3 component so, again, is not to be expected in this release. It is available along with some other Sense 3 bits in several custom roms in the rom forum if you wish to go down the custom rom path.
[Desire HD General] wid0w:
Officially that is. Unofficially, we already have the simple lockscreen, the wallpapers, the sms app, the weather app, and the usb menu from sense 3.0. Plus the guys almost finished with the pyramid leak so custom roms always ahead by months :)

About quadrant, first it's fake. Seond, it can be very easy to influence scores. Third, custom roms usually score 2500+
[Desire HD General] jamieboy88:
Quadrant scores

For those who noticed the lower quadrant scores (around 1400) apparently its just down to the actual quadrant app not working properly on GB!

Runs very smooth! so not worried about the score it gets!

This link doesn't work for me, I click download anyway and I just get a blank page. Any chance you could upload it somewhere else?

Nevermind, it doesn't work unless logged into google.
[Desire HD General] Wedge85:
Unbranded Desire HD updated a couple of hours ago in Australia.

Android Version:2.3.3

HTC Sense Version: 2.1

I like the new layout, however my picture slideshow seems to have died. Picasa photo albums kept crashing..

P.S when doing your check for update, try it when connected to Wi-fi. Didn't work with me being just on a mobile network..

To fix the Picasa crashing do a restart after the update.
[Desire HD General] abhishekagrawal:
I think thats not exactly correct. 405 is just a country specific code AFAIK. Like here in India, I have 1.84.720.3 and its definitely unlocked.

UK and India and many other asian countries had got the 1.84 update sometime last month while many other countries did not get it and were running on 1.32 or 1.72. I guess 2.3 will come to us after sometime.
[Desire HD General] Bodyworks:
Sounds great.
[Desire HD General] chris.daf:
3 UK have tweeted that there won't be an update until at least the end of May. I was getting so excited :(
[Desire HD General] ivereor:
This is stock htc you will not be getting a new lockscreen or ctr animation. Those are only on custom roms.

Vodafone unbranded fully rooted s-off running cm7 not going to update when it comes out, waiting for kingdom port much better.
[Desire HD General] ivereor:
They said april then may, I guess they have to add some network stuff.
[Desire HD General] sromer:
I still haven't got it on mine :(

Hopefully i'll get it in the morning
[Desire HD General] NeitherJohn:
Do you mind me asking what software version your DHD was on before the 2.3.3 update? And about what time you got the update? I'm in Cork on 1.32 and I've got nothing yet!
[Desire HD General] kudoboi:

[Desire HD General] rw4real:
Hey guys, i just unbranded my phone this afternoon and flashed the new gingerbread (but the version which was release a few days ago). It's probably the same like the OTA update of today.

My Question: Are there any visual changes? I can see none (i'm only talking about the theme itself). Because i was hoping to see something like Cyanogenmod??
[Desire HD General] pintycar:
Very happy with this update :)

[Desire HD General] +Nybras+:
I then asked HTC UK why does the UK require more testing and i got -

"All our software updates must pass through a testing stage with our operator partners to ensure the best possible experience across all networks. Apologies for this slight delay but we'll update you as soon as possible with the UK roll-out date."
[Desire HD General] ReginaPhlange:
I don't see why the testing is taking longer for the UK than the rest of Europe. It's the same update, no?
[Desire HD General] ThoLan36:
Typical. Although I'd rather have a near perfect update rather than one filled with bugs.
[Desire HD General] cracksquirrel:
Haven't some people in the UK said they got the update already though ?
[Desire HD General] ThoLan36:
I think they just downloaded the update that another user uploaded earlier today.
[Desire HD General] iridium21:
But surely they're referring to the update for the carrier branded handsets there?
[Desire HD General] southparkeric:
Yep my epic 4g does not have the update to gingerbread.
[Desire HD General] ATGardner:
So I am still wondering - is it safe to upgrade?

As I asked before - I have root and radio-off (s-off and/or eng-off - don't remember which is which, actually). I also have clockwork recovery.

Will trying to upgrade now work on my phone? Has anyone tried it with a similar setup? Or will I get stuck on the green android screen until I run a rom restore?

And if the upgrade works - will I still have the root and radio off? Or will they be over-written?

Please - anyone here knows the answers to these questions?
[Desire HD General] Danielfr:
I am living in Belgium but no updates for my phone

Daniel
[Desire HD General] +Nybras+:
I think they do just have to make sure all the UK operators are going to work because regardless whether we're branded on not branded we all need a sim card from an operator. It would be better to test than find say all of the o2 sim card users had problems
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
I downloaded the OTA and hacked it a bit not to flash hboot and recovery (removed firmware.zip file, edited updater-script to remove write_firmware_image command and CID assert checks). Flashed fine with CWM. Then I needed to chmod su back to 06755 and set owner to 0:0. After that, flashed boot and radio through fastboot and everything is working fine & rooted.
[Desire HD General] ATGardner:
Sounds complicated

I have no idea what half the things you just said, but I assume it all means that either upgrading will hang my phone on the android screen, or will just leave me with a non rooted device, unless I know what I am doing (which I clearly don't, and you clearly do)

Hopefully there will be a guide soon to do what you did for your device.

Thanks for the info, though.
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
I'm terrible at writing guides, so it won't be me, but if someone wants to write a guide, I'll be glad to help :)
[Desire HD General] sergiu_07_07:
I have root and s-off/eng s-off and tried to install the update yesterday when it got released but i couldn't.I got stuck at a screen with a little android.Had to take the battery out in order to restart.

Installed the leaked RUU and now it works perfectly.It is the same as the released one.
[Desire HD General] sorinrgn1:
downloading now, branded 1,72 Orange RO
[Desire HD General] +Nybras+:
You from Romania?
[Desire HD General] ATGardner:
But installing the RUU means you have to setup your entire phone from scratch, right? The accounts, the apps, eveything. Or am I getting it wrong?

And the leaked RUU - is it rooted? all those s-off/eng-off as well?

I have half a mind to just go and install cm7... even a recent nightly...
[Desire HD General] sergiu_07_07:
Installing the RUU is like a factory reset(s-off/eng-off i think they were saved but no root although it can be easily obtained with gingerbreak).

I installed the RUU because i don't know how to flash a ROM (and a bit scared too :D) . You shoud go for the cm7 if you know what u are doing.
[Desire HD General] sanjay_2001:

[Desire HD General] chris21176:
Yesterday 3 pm I got the message for the update.

german DHD original ROM, no branding.

After 30 minutes and 2 restarts my DHD runs now with original HTC Ginger ROM.

It keeps all settings apps and

data. There is nothing to install new.

Very fine!

It feels faster with gingerbread.

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] trisbel:

[Desire HD General] RichieRuss:
Updated this morning... Everything was automatic and looks the same apart from Gingerbread additions. Vodafone UK
[Desire HD General] Devilsduck:
I can't believe VF UK haven't released GB for the unbranded phones yet. They suck
[Desire HD General] MrPloppy:
So Vodafone are sending out an update only for branded phones at the moment? I see lots of people on VF getting their Ginger update, but not me!! :mad:
[Desire HD General] Devilsduck:
It appears that way. I'm not sure if its on purpose or they just forgot they had a bunch of IMEIs that are unbranded
[Desire HD General] njay-uk:
Seems to be a common theme as none of the unbranded DHD's in the UK appear to have received it yet :(
[Desire HD General] b1gwest:
I'm in the same boat. Got one of the first batch of unbranded DHD's from Vodafone UK. Still no update..
[Desire HD General] iridium21:
Friggin' great, isn't it - unbranded phone but last to receive the update!

Maybe the carriers are holding on to the update to get people to sign-up for branded, contract phones in the future? I wouldn't put anything past 'em!
[Desire HD General] Mr_JMM:
Yes, we get it, unbranded phones are being upgraded at a later date. We really don't need a hundred posts saying it.

Please, pretty please, in an effort to keep this thread and the forums tidy, please only post to say you HAVE received the OTA update (as long as no one else had done so already).

Thank you.

[Desire HD General] kluzik1:
Hi guys, i want to double check if I'll be able to get the update on debranded device with stock htc_001 cid and radio s-on?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] iridium21:
Hmm. Just a polite question - as you're running CyanogenMod, why do the posts in this thread regarding UK phones that still haven't received the update concern you so much?
[Desire HD General] Mr_JMM:
Because I'm trying to keep the forums tidy making it much easier for others to find the information.

As the forum rules say, we shouldn't be posting something already said.

And for those wishing to discuss how unhappy they are about not getting updated can make use of the general forum that xda have provided for just such purpose.

Hey guys, I've got an unbranded HD, I bought it in Taipei this January

Running stock with 1.37 build

currently running stock sense

i have cwm 2.5

I'm sure i have S-Off

Unfortunately I'm in China and currently the update that it's giving me is 1.84 - everytime I install this 1.84 normally it gives me the dreaded android and triangle, so I flashed it via Recovery, when doing so it renders Wifi unusable. I get an Error under Wifi options and We-Fi and Wifi Fixer are no help.

I tried taking the Gingerbread update from the thread and I tried flashing it via recovery straight from 1.37 and it says invalid

So my questions are

Do I need to have the 1.84 update to flash the new Gingerbread update?

Is there a way for me to get 1.84 without losing Wifi?

I'm in China and I don't understand the tech jargon customer service uses, and their English guy is worse because he has this horrible Chinglish vocabulary.

Anybody care to help please PM me, cheers!

Hi Guys

can somebody help my how i can root my DHD gingerbread 2.3.3 ??

Just a quick update. According to HTC support, UK updates have now started (supposedly) and we _should_ get it today or tomorrow.

ROM Number

I would like to see, if is same one like 2.36.405.8, or they change something, and now will come out with new rom number for uk unbranded phones.. ;)
[Desire HD General] dizi01:
Hi all,

I updated my dhd yesterday to android 2.3, but I have some problems, it seems that the phone is less responsive, especially when switching from one homescreen to another (with the "HTC" skin and live wallpaper). Quadrant is now 1400, with the 2.2 the score was 1800... google maps does not respond quickly, lags everywhere... what can I do? I resetted the phone to factory settings, but nothing changed. With the 2.2 the phone was much faster.

It is possible to downgrade back to 2.2? I'm a noob.. so sorry for the elementary questions.

Sorry also for my bad english,

i'm italian :)

Anyone can confirm if gingerbread comes with a radio update?
[Desire HD General] tigger80:
Here is a link for the RUU gor gingerbread for desire HD

http://www.klept0.com/hosted/PD98IM...0.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed.zip

Not tested it, its NOT the RUU its a zip files
[Desire HD General] iridium21:
Good point. I'll report back when (if) I get it.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
Its possible that some active apps/widgets on your phone are not optimized for Gingerbread.

I've noticed the Quadrant score drop as well, but my phone is very fast now. Google maps has almost no lag even on 3G, but I've not tried any Live Wallpapers. With that last thought, maybe its the Live Wallpaper. Worth a try, anyways.

I did notice a dip in battery life. I used to be able to have it last 12-16 hours before reaching 40%, but now it lasts around 10. It could be because of SKYPE or some other apps I installed after updating, but I would like to toss the battery observation bit in the hat.
[Desire HD General] claptnei:
I have also noticed some of these issues, ie battery and sluggishness, but I think it may be due to HTC Sense syncing after the upgrade for a few hours. This was showing in the battery usage details. Every thing now seems fine and smooth.
[Desire HD General] Polar67:

Got it in Greece !

Yesterday at 22:30 I got the update through manual check.

Greek DHD original ROM, no branding.

After 30 minutes my DHD runs with original HTC Ginger ROM.

I had to remove the battery at the end of the installation for the update to take effect becouse it left me with a black screen.

Other than that everything works great.

It keeps all settings apps and data.

It feels faster with gingerbread and the sound is so much better.

For UK Only:

From whatever I've read so far on this forum, it appears like unbranded DHD phones will see an update only when HTC release the OTA in the UK..

The ONLY folks in UK who seem to be receiving the OTA are branded DHD on the Vodafone network..

So, In summary, the people waiting are:

1. ALL unbranded DHD in the UK

2. ALL Branded DHD in the UK, except those on Vodafone..

If there are people in the above list who have received the OTA, please shout and let us know ...
[HTC Hurricane] atomfix:
I found my old SPV phone so I plugged the USB cable in into my HTC USB wall plug and it just does nothing, I've tried plugging it into my computer and still no joy.

Any suggestions? I've tried loads of different USB cables with no luck
[HTC Hurricane] tobbbie:
The SPL (and the batterydriver later in OS) only charge if a dedicated HTC charger is connected or the device is linked via Active Sync. Not sure what was the specialty of the HTC chargers - but I believe it was that some (usually data lines that chargers don't need) are connected and that pin 4+5 are as well (ground).

It would also need some seconds to revive the old battery. Lights will be red first and then step to orange when you can start switching it on.

Last resort: charge battery manually (any single element charger for Li-Ion should do).
[HTC Hurricane] tobbbie:
Just to add: If you replace the original SPL with one that allows you to flash up to WM5/6, then also the charging will become possible with any USB Charger. If you want to keep the original OS you can also only replace the SPL - the device will still boot but not accept an original OS Update.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] twistid1:
Is there anyway to download and install games/apps from the computer? Can I go into CWM - Mount USB - and then create a folder in my Gtablet and put all my apk files in that folder and then somehow install them once booted into my tablet?

I have never used android before so please forgive my ignorance... I just just flashed Clock Work Mod via NVFlash so I am still learning. I would like to install PSX4Droid and Final Fantasy 7 among other games.

Thank you for your time.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] TheKaz:
if they are android files (which, by apk, I assume they are), then yes. Just put them in a folder, use a file explorer to browse to them and open them, and they should install. Of course, installing is no guarantee that they will work on the gTab.

Also note that if you load an app that does not appear in your market, you will not be able to get updates to the app via the market.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nunjabusiness:
You should have a folder called download in the root, use that for consistency.

However, I have found the easiest way is to email them to yourself at the gmail address you use on the tab.

The regular gmail reader provides for installing the APK from inside the message (just click Install!).

Works every time.:D

(Plus this gives you a backup copy of the app to install from anywhere you have web.)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] EL TEJANO:
The easiest way is to place them on a usb flash drive & use a file explorer (i.e root explorer) to install them.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nunjabusiness:
I also want to mention that the new web-based Market will install the programs onto the tab for you when you click to install them from the PC.

No muss, no fuss. I was pretty surprised when I discovered it accidentally.
