Yes it works good. Just done it this morning.

If your goldcard is corrupt, RUU will stop and display error 131 without bricking your Desire.

-->In this case just make another goldcard and start flash process again from scratch.

I'm happy with this rom : no battery drain as reported by some people, more speed, and absolutly no problem about removed apps 'cause i never use facebook, teeter...nor htc's wallpapers. Good radio with good signal and less drops than latest official froyo.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
shouldnt need a goldcard to upgrade to the dev version - should just go on any branded phone and debrand them for you.

hahaha
[Desire General] Lord_Morgoth:
Hi guys,

i've got some questions to those who have installed the new 2.3.3 ROM:

1. So once again, apart from Teeter, FB and wallpapers - what else was removed (in comparison with the stock Froyo) ? Is there more space left ?

2. Does the new rom include the new version of keyboard or it's the old one?

3. Since the HTC Sense remained the same - you won't get access to htcsense.com, right?
[Desire General] teorouge:
I want kernel sources, who cares about dev HTC ROM?!

A little question, was there no new radio inside update?
[Desire General] htchris:
Hello from Greece.

Tell us if the phone works.properly after the update

Especially

1. Is it all ok with mms - sms or you need to reprogramme the parameterse

2. Will I lose all my installed.programs and I need to reinstall or download them. Of I.ll lose only some HTC programs linged with sense ( don't bother me)

For example do I need to install again my gps apps with the properly downloaded maps;

Give us a describe of the + or -

Thanks and greetings from Greece

I use English to help more owners interested in.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
1. don't think so

2. i saw some reports of it the same and some saying its different

3. no htcsense.com access unless we have sense 2.0+
[Desire General] Pyr0wl:
Patience is a virtue mate, they'll upload it soon enough. Radio is the same as the one which came from the leaked ROM.

And judging from this topic, a lot of people care ;)
[Desire General] sliners:
So, there is no chance to change the skin?

and what about those sms and mms? is it possible to send sms?
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
No problems with sms or mms, unless you live in one of the countries listed at the download site. Go have a look.
[Desire General] sliners:
Thanks.

And one more Q - how to backup my contacts etc.?
[Desire General] k3lcior:
AFAIK it's automatically synced with your google account.

Hi guys, I have a quick question that I would really appreciate an answer to...

I have a UK T-Mobile branded Desire which has been unlocked and rooted. Do I have to take any steps like messing with a gold card or unrooting before I can apply the official Gingerbread update?

I'm really hoping I can go straight ahead and plug the phone in and do the update without any hassle.

Many thanks.

Here is a link for those who are interested in installing the GB ruu or just want a quick overview of what is on the GB update:

http://tech-gadget.co.in/2011/08/htc-desire-android-2-3-update-–-installation-guide-and-gallery/

Funny thing is that HTC had said that they were going to remove unnecessary apps, but yet kept app such as: (the Google Apps: YouTube, Maps, GMail) Peep (HTC's Twitter App), Footprint, Friends Stream and the App Sharing tool. Honestly how many of you use Peep or any of the other HTC Apps. It would naturally make more sense to remove those Apps and allow one to download them via HTC Hub?! Quietly Brilliant?! I think not...
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I said that too with htc's apps - but they won't remove anything that is theirs or to do with sense if they can help it.

surprised the removed teeter and flashlight to be honest - but gave a way to put it back in.
[Desire General] nasimdejai:
Bye bye HTC,it wasn't a pleasure knowing and doing business with you. Goodbye Skinned Android devices,hello to stock based Android phones/tablets. Never again will I buy devices that aren't pure Google. Ice cream sandwich,quad core and Nexus Prime,can't wait!!!!
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I can hear htc, samsung, motorola, lg, sony ericsson and everyone else crying and sobbing for you

PS. I really hope HTC are the developer of the next Nexus too :D
[Desire General] TVTV:
Guys, is there a way to resize the NAND partitions on the Desire? I'm actually pretty happy with the stock 2.2 ROM. I'm not a heavy app user, so i don't really need DATA2SD etc. I would like to remove a couple of widgets (stocks, people, peep) and a few apps (like teeter and quickoffice) and shrink the root partition + expand the apps partition. Is this possible?
[Desire General] Pyr0wl:
Rumor has it that Samsung, HTC, LG, etc. all will bring their own version of the Nexus. Meaning that we'll have plenty of pure Google phones to choose from :D
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
I don't think you can run the Gingerbread RUU on a rooted Desire, not sure about this though. But what is crystal clear is that the new RUU gladly will unbrand your Desire, so no more need for gold card. Please remember that this is a one way road, no way back, no root and no s-off as of (!) yet!
[Desire General] Pyr0wl:
I had a rooted Desire and I ran the update. Everything goes just fine, as long as you have the stock HBOOT. If you're S-OFF, the stock one from alpharev will do just fine.
[Desire General] Whatsup03:
Hi,

Have you tried the version ...

...some opinions if so ..pls:D?
[Desire General] stsandi:
Yeah, seems like we got more sense than they do! Would have been nice if they made it possible for one to install it via .APK or other means.
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
Thanks for the info mate, I stand corrected! :o
[Desire General] Lothaen:
sounds like some of the alpharev things?

they resize partitions afaik
[Desire General] parolek:
is it possible to downgrade to froyo please? I can't do it because of version 1.02.
[Desire General] agramagram:
No, but I installed this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1196327 on my rooted s-off Froyo stock desire and my apps and settings remain the same, all just upgraded to 2.3.3, so thanks to insertcoin!
[Desire General] Whatsup03:
Is the same, thanks anyway, I wanted to know if it works:D

My mistake, is another one, i think i will go on your version...thx
[Desire General] androgeno:
Are you talking about a real upgrade without using Titanium backup or something of the kind? Did you lose S-OFF? I also have a stock HTC Froyo rooted (unrevoked) and s-offed.

Any guide to this upgrade or to any similar upgrade to any of the XDA Gingerbread ROMs?

Regards and thanks in advance.

[Desire General] Bingley:
You need alhparev to come up with a new partition table, which sadly seems unlikely. Sense's /sys is 250, and the Bravo Data ++ one is 180 - somehow you'll need to remove 70mb from it. I've just tried, it's impossible imo. Thinks like Peep, Stocks, Peeple, Teeter and QO are tiny in comparison - 10's to 100's of kb. If you lose maps, street(view), email, gmail - avg <5mb each - you're still an impossibly large chunk away from fitting /sys into a 180mb partition. I don't think it can be done.

Weather you can run the ruu, open the rom.rip, remove the hboot then replace the rom.zip remains to be seen.
[Desire General] nasimdejai:
Once the Gingerbread computer download from the HTC development site is complete, how are we suppose to install it onto the phone? Do I use the HTC sync app or is there any other app to carry out the manual installation? A set of guidelines would be alot of help. Thanks
[Desire General] Alex-V:
Why you want install a rom without any extras..flash a custom rom based on this rom..i release my rom with a2sd or data2ext in the evening :)
[Desire General] yorkshiretyke:
You need to unzip all the files and then run the ruu file. Which is in a folder with a pdf file containing instructions
[Desire General] :
I have a rooted s-off desire, currently running cool sensation v6a. Do I have to unroot and go back to stock froyo first?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
nope

flash over the top

it will remove all the s-off and root though
[Desire General] ssonik:
And you won't be able to re-root after.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
yet............
[Desire General] ssonik:
Would still recommend waiting for a path to either downgrade hboot or root directly *before* flashing. Or unpack the ruu and flash without the new hboot image ;)
[Desire General] longy92:
So much for them rolling it out OTA and new Sense eh?
[Desire General] erklat:
Both of those information came from the HTC's helpdesk which was never a credible source of information for anyone with a grain or two of salt in their head.

Still, I wouldn't risk it. Anyone who likes custom stuff should avoid that ruu in that form at all costs imo.
[Desire General] longy92:
Yeah, I hadn't banked on it. Just flashing Reflex now, I hope it won't disappoint! And I doubt it will.

I wouldn't risk that ROM, dunno why you'd bother when there's much better ROMs here, even one that is the exact same as the new official GB except rooted, much better idea to flash that instead :)

Maybe it's just me, but this could very well be him hinting the OTA Gingerbread update for the HTC Desire...

[Desire General] KrewCial:
Think its better to just delete this topic, seeing as nothing is confirmed yet and the title is very misleading.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I concur

the only thing I want to see is either an official announcement that it is rolling out, or someone saying they have it downloaded.

Anything else is still just rumour, including some support peeps from HTC saying it is rolling out - if there's no announcement to back it up and no one has it - it aint rolling.

I'm bored of seeing new posts here only to see people saying 'nothing here yet' - it was fun for the first page or two, but after awhile it's just tedious
[Desire General] billak:

[Desire General] worekarolis:

[Desire General] KrewCial:
Thats exactly my point, which is why its better to close this and open a new one when the update is in fact confirmed.

What do you think how many useless Gingerbread threads are going to be opened if we do that? :)
[Desire General] MattBooth:
This is better. Now for developers to get their hands on it and get some proper Desire 2.3 ROMs out of the door instead of the Desire S ROMs we're stuck with.
[Desire General] rvdgeer:
That way you'll only find out about the update 2 years after it's been released...

If there's a good reason to

suspect

an update is on it's way (like htc customer support confirming this), we should leave a thread open to at least find out if it is or isn't...

And we don't want a hand full of threads asking if anyone has seen an update somewhere around...
[Desire General] aaa:
It feels strange...I got the official update from the net (even the stock rooted) but ended up flashing InsertCoin 1.0.9...

[Desire General] Smii:
Just talking to a lovely lady called Kaylee on HTC Support Chat - she's also confirmed that the roll-out for the OTA for unbranded devices has started and branded devices will follow shortly after in the coming months.

Seems like this is real, it's just a matter of waiting now! We've got good at that.

The conversation has ambled on...

The update is done via Serial number NOT IMEI.

The sense version on this update will NOT be 2.1, it's the same as it is right now.
[Desire General] Kryziek:
I've talked to someone to but he said the didn't even know anything about it..

EDIT:

Now i had a chance to talk to someone in my own langeage and he also said it isn't rolling out yet. If the would rol it out, they will put it on their facebookpage.

[Desire General] Smii:
I don't suppose it's too great a leap to assume that perhaps HTC technical support do in fact know at least something of what's going on. The story from everyone who's spoken to them is the same.

[Desire General] Lothaen:
that's the problem - a couple of people have similar information - some people have completely different information and...

... no one has this so it's hard to believe it when we've been told things before and nothing happened.

e.g. the last time it was 'coming at the end of the month' we were told Sense 1.0/1.9/2.0/2.1/3.0 would be included - no one has the exact same information
[Desire General] d2kx:
For what it's worth, I sent HTC a message through Twitter hours ago and again, they confirmed it's planned to roll out later this week.

"We're still planning on it... to start rolling it out at the end of this month. Thanks for being patient."
[Desire General] Geezay:
Just what we need, a bit of comic relief! Seriously HTC, get on with the program. Xperia X10s are getting an update, but we don't? This may well be my last HTC device. The same way I left SE for the whole P990 debacle is the same way I will leave HTC. Samsung, where can I get a Galaxy II please?
[Desire General] Dasco68:
I dont see what the big deal is, even when it is released you will still all have to wait for your favourite developer to incorporate into their rom lol.
[Desire General] hanserson1:
Ha, I don't know where it's rolling to but certainly not on to our devices :D
[Desire General] d2kx:
It will be interesting to see what happens when Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" is out in a few months.

Samsung Galaxy S2 will get it definitly even though it's the biggest Android update, by large, ever. But I doubt even HTC Sensation will get it, because HTC Sense is too integrated into the system.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
all depends how quick the devs of x company can pull their finger out when Google let them at it.

IMO samsung seem to go with the option of - quick slap touchwiz on and let people bugger around with it if they want.

HTC went with the 'wait a bit longer, we'll have this cracked and looking shiny soon' option spending time on the UI.

Moto I think have almost given up with MotoBlur and just practically bung it on as an app??

of course the carrier (e.g. orange) will then mess it up completely by spending a month changing the colors of the e-mail app to orange or whatever and branding the poor device into submission...
[Desire General] Terepin:

[Desire General] Salty Wagyu:
Heard somewhere that HTC needed to change the size of /System to accommodate the new Gingerbread release for HTC Desire phones, does anyone know the size it has been changed to?

what would be trully beautiful, but will never happen is HTC puts the newest (or most appropriate) sense and implements a2sd+ to enable app installation to sdcards.

[Desire General] alpha-dog:

hopefully theres no room at all for the network providers to add their useless stuff to it.
[Desire General] Embattle:
How about until someone who actually posts gets the OTA we stop talking about what some person told us down a phone or what they've heard from a friend of a friends cat.
[Desire General] dm76:
Can't you really see...? :) The truth is that there is no update, there never was any and never will.... :)

They cancelled the update, then they said some rubbish that they would eventually make it, but - in one month, no sense, apps cut, no OTA, now only OTA... b...hit!!

and now they say it will take months to be avilable to all - they're just buying some time with crap excuses and wait for people to change their phones to new ones and finally forget about 2.3.... :)
[Desire General] Pyr0wl:
Aren't you quite the pessimist.

Don't you think that lying to your own customers is far more worse than just saying "No, there will be no update" ?

If they just said "no", people would whine, scream rape and murder but after a while, they would forget about it and move on. If HTC started lying, nobody would ever forget. "Hey, do you remember that company that kept on lying for months?" "Oh yeah, HTC was it, right?". Start acting like that and you'll start losing customers.

See, that's why there will be an update, eventually.

Oh, and about the "it will take months" part, the update will indeed take months: first the unbranded phones, later on the branded. Carriers need time to implement their own apps etc. If you have an unbranded version, you'll receive the OTA pretty soon, if you have a branded device, you'll have to wait for XDA.
[Desire General] k3lcior:
They have 2 days to roll it out though, because i dont think they are working at weekends.

We will see.
[Desire General] Pyr0wl:
I don't know. They don't really need to be present at work in order for the update to continue rolling out. I think it's just a matter of kick-starting a script on the server or something. If they run that script somewhere Friday evening, the update will continue to roll out during the weekend, I guess?

Has anybody really seen the update?

If you have a custom ROM I know that you cannot install the update but will you still get the notification? Then of course wait for a rooted ROM to install :))
[Desire General] Lothaen:
'Like' :)

Did no one read that bit that said it would START rolling out at the end of the month - I am assuming that means it will START rolling out on Sunday.

For rooted (stock htc rom) you would probably get a notification - but a custom rom probably won't...
[Desire General] Zittermann:
Ist it possible to apply the update on a rooted stock htc rom? I realize that root will be lost, but will the update apply?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
potential is that it could brick the device so it's highly recommended not to apply an OTA when rooted.
[Desire General] chichoko:
I second that... Please dont instal the OTA if you are on a custom rom even if you get the notification, it will most likely brick your device..
