Hi all,

the 2.3 gingerbread update is rolling out now! with sense 2.1!

NOTE: 2.3 IS ROLLING OUT VIA IMEI, SO IF YOU HAVE A BRANDED PHONE, BUT YOU UNBRANDED IT, YOU WONT GET THE UPDATE!!

confirmation:

Nick : Good afternoon

Dries: Hi Nick, thank you for contacting customer support from HTC. Currently I am just to read your question.

Dries: It has recently begun rolling out but that happens, however, using the IMEI number. It is not known exactly when your device's turn but when it does, you will automatically offer the update OTA.

Nick : Okay! that's good news, but on the Facebook page of HTC is that he has not yet rolled out?

Dries: The Facebook page has yet to be updated.

Nick : Ah okay, but I'm talking about the old desire, not the desire Z

Dries: Yes, Desire of the wounded.

Dries: I apologize, I meant regular

Nick : Haha okay, and do you know which version of Sense's on?

Dries: This is version 2.1
[Desire General] Lothaen:
can't see nuffin here.
[Desire General] nickislauw:
if you have a branded phone, but unbranded it, the update wont work cause its rolling out via IMEI!!
[Desire General] ericfanhk:
Thank you for your information

Hope will see the HK version soon
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
can't see it here (swe) for now..
[Desire General] UKseagull:
I'm puzzled, I thought that Sense wasn't going to be included.
[Desire General] alpha-dog:
it was always going to be included but a cut down version
[Desire General] KrewCial:
Might be true, although I wouldnt be too hasty with putting a confirmed stamp onto it. Especially if this information comes from customer support...
[Desire General] chichoko:
Cant anyone check the servers so we can get the RUU update?
[Desire General] Stakkertoo:
My Desire was bought off the shelf, so is unbranded, however it IS rooted (although I haven't done anything with the root access)

Does this mean I'll still get the update?

Will this affect memory available?
[Desire General] htchris:
nobody in the comunity have already have the update ;

Anybody has the update to tell us the + or - ?

I keep on checking for updates refreshing every hour my device.

The first lucky guy let's informe all the others.
[Desire General] mckacid:
'there are no updates available for your phone'
[Desire General] alpha-dog:
apparently its rolling out in holland, can anyone confirm?
[Desire General] nickislauw:
they said they will be pushed to phones by IMEI, so it will take time to get yours..
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Might have to dust off my Desire this evening and see what's going on
[Desire General] htchris:
We will wait for.our turn.

But till then we need a first look and some answers from someone that already has the update.

For example which version of sense is delivered and with / without cut applications.
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
When HTC put message on FB that GB is officialy out then he is out, otherwise this is just another troll thread.
[Desire General] nickislauw:
the guy from support said, the FB page needs to be updated.. but the desire Z 2.3 was rolled out 4 days earlier in holland then eveery other country,. so
[Desire General] chichoko:
Its not exactly a troll thread but yeah we must stop believing the Customer Support one day...

On a side note, didnt we use to have a direct link to the RUU's on the official HTC website? I guess thats the only way to find out if we can grab the update without waiting for the whole rollout process to unfold...
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
Well yea...same thinking.

if you find link share it.
[Desire General] Geezay:
Oh I had forgotten what it feels like to wait for an update from HTC. All the "update is rolling out now" and "When is the update for my region coming" threads, the impatience of users, the frustration of it all - kinda exciting in a weirdly disturbing way. And the disappointment when the update finally comes with users bemoaning features and functions that were not included, etc <sigh>
[Desire General] dik23:
Who wants to install first anyway and be the one opening the post "How to remove update" ?

I know I'll be waiting for the super keen to test the water.

Wise men say, only fools rush in
[Desire General] Smiffyboots:
Why would you want an official update that still leaves your phone with hardly any available memory anyway? Root and custom ROM's = WIN

The only reason I would be interested in this update is for the developers to use/cook/perfect! :D
[Desire General] DRMON:
OMG IT'S UPDATING RIGHT NOW

lol jk, I wish they would release it already.
[Desire General] mortuus82:
Are they waiting until its 2 minutes til midnight? or whats the holdup its friday today and it would be nice to have it today..
[Desire General] rodd40:
As the last door closes on my htc desire and htc for good

this is the last time i wait for HTC to update any phone when my contract is up i'm moving to Samsung. ive had htc phones from the xda onwards and always been left waiting for any support. but as htc have proved time and again too little too late. yes htc you can produce great phone BUT without proper support they are just expensive dust collector. its no-wonder we who buy your phones turn to the dev's at xda deleopers for our update and custom roms. :mad:
[Desire General] JeckyllHavok:
Tell me one thing, how many manufacturers will bring an update for a phone that is older then a year? For me it's more important to get nicely custom roms than official bloatware roms. And by the way, the update mechanism in Samsung phones is crap compared to HTC ( i mean bootloader, download mode and so on)
[Desire General] erklat:
OMGWTFBBQ :eek:

Ye wright, Desire with 2.2 is dust collector :rolleyes: :D

Let him be :cool:
[Desire General] Bingley:
Considering it's the weekend the last 2 days of the month they're either gonna have to finish and release it today - Friday - or work over the weekend. Not sure if they'll really get people working over the weekend just to hit some arbitrary date so that's something to consider.
[Desire General] nickislauw:

OMG GB Android 2.3 is available for Desire !

htc desire update has started to roll out and its with sense 2.1
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Again?

I believe only if i see it on my phone, or screenshot.

Probably another trolls.
[Desire General] Vesafani:
Rather than one or two people telling it's out, there will be dozens or hundreds when it actually becomes available.

I would bet on Sunday release, that's when Froyo came out too.
[Desire General] SDR2010:

7月升级已经是泡影了 只是看见论坛许多的朋友还在执拗的等待这场已经延迟了n久的谎言

索尼x10在之前低调宣布升级 没有鸽子 没有什么 然后赶在最后的时间 升级了

m9 今天也升级到2.3了

g7 之前就给了我们一个大大的泡泡 htc就使劲的吹 吹 结果自己把自己吹破了

六月~~升级转移到7月 忍了 7月结果也泡汤了·~ 到8月了~~~

真是一场悲剧 至此也没看见htc面对大陆的用户有一个道歉

就连发布所谓的新闻 还是选择需要大家***去看~~ 这让大陆的用户情何以堪

g7 升级2.3 7月无望

Run logcat on the pc and accept the update on the phone

Point Situation

Hi @ll,

Point of situation at this moment:

Remember yesterday we told you that Gingerbread for HTC Desire has been released. Well this turned out to be a a big confusion everywhere. All Over XDA every one said that they have not yet received the update. The Whole thing started when One of the XDA Senior Member chatted with HTC Customer Care UK and they told him that they have just released OTA Update for Desire and this news spread like fire with So many people shouting and howling, but no remedy as no one has ever received any Update.

Well HTC would have posted update on their Facebook Page about such a big event, as Desire is their Most Popular Device of course.

So just to clear all this confusion we contacted HTC Customer Care in UK and India and they said that they are trying hard to release update by this month though just 2 Days are left in this Month anyway we believe it should be something about 15 days to 1 month. They also said that the update will first land in Europe and then will come to other part of world. And the most important part it will have HTC Sense UI version 2.1. As Desire faces serious Memory issues this Update will bring nothing other then Sense UI 2.1 and lots of Memory Issues with it so the OTA update is not worth so much, only thing that matters is the Original Source Codes so next time when We see a Sense Based Custom ROM it will be a lot stable and especially designed for HTC Desire (Bravo).

If after reading the news we dropped earlier you were desperately checking for updates then this should calm you down for a while, and feel free to drop comments below.

* ChaCha

* Desire Z

Too bad for us :( But still hope.......
[Desire General] Jasand:
No I am actually this childish. Senior member ha xda is so wrong.

So after reading the posts HTC made an error on saying that the update is rolling out when it is not. So we have had no response from HTC at all apart from they are aiming to roll out the update at the end of this month but still no further update?

I don't personally see it happening and can't wait for the excuse HTC come up with.
[Desire General] Terepin:
I do and I give sh*t about what you cares about, moron.
[Desire General] owziee:
Just what I thought... Anyway it's nice for those who are dying to get 2.3 that the Desire will actually get an update. Personally I think I'll stick with 2.2 and save some precious phone storage and stability, my guess is that this rom will completely uber-suck since hTC probably felt almost forced to squeeze gingerbread into the Desire :)
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Thats why we have XDA.
[Desire General] Terepin:
Funny how most, if not all users presume how it will suck when neither of us has it.
[Desire General] erklat:
Interesting how no one commented this delay announcement yet. :)
[Desire General] dm76:
people here are from all around the world, update "is rolling out" for some time but no one seen it in Asia, US or Europe...

one miracle a year is enough - we got duke nukem forever, duke desire gingerbread forever is not likely to hit OTA... :)

there is no update.. :)

HTC should release this as a RUU too, as I think it would be much easier to decompile and grab the drivers from it.

But I don't think they'll do that.

Some say the STIG's android device already has gingerbread and that mortal humans will receive the update on the last day of the month, in the last minute, of the last hour of the day.

[Desire General] handyosprey:
This isn't quite true , a hidden htc facebook page shows that Chuck actually stole the 2.3.3 update and hid it in his beard .

Htc are obviously scared about asking for it back , and have in fact , been working on a clone of the only man ever to defeat chuck norris .

This clone will be complete and matured enough to retrieve the 2.3.3 by midnight tonite .

Oh yes , the clone's name is ................

For what i ever know..htc thanks to FB declared to start the rollout

from

the end of july...not during the 31 or the 30...but

from

the end of july, in practice in the beginning of august.
[Desire General] Anon87:
This is what they actually said last on FB:
[Desire General] Jasand:
HTC quietly confident or quietly ****ting themselves.

To say the roll out will start at the end of July is fine but I want someone to post they have the update tomorrow Sunday 31st July 2011. I can expect my branded device to take a little longer but for HTC to keep their word a handset has to be updated tomorrow, even if it is only 1 then great they done what they said they would.

if ever for a branded device - with space problems being an issue in the first place - how will orange and co brand their devices to buggery?

It was -afaik- officially announced by HTC some time ago that the upgrade would come "before end of July" but now it is "end of July" -> means the promised time has already passed over with no words about it. An official announcement should have come until now, no matter positive or a negative info. Well, 'no news is good news', but why I can't think so now...?

here's a question...

My HTC (Unbranded) was purchased in UK (while i was there on holiday), and i'm back in NZ now. If what i'm reading above is true, that UK is likely to get updates first, then would my phone still qualify. I'm guessing that the OTA update isnt so much mobile network specific, but more so device serial number specific?
