timestamps on the files seem to suggest they have had this ready since 15th - 22nd july.

fairly last minute considering testing period
[Desire General] erklat:
I don't remember them announcing it will be an OTA release. Even more, there was a rumor it might be a ruu. So they delivered the update on schedule, but you jumped to conclusions based on something they never promised, and now it is a problem too. It is not HTC's problem if majority of population who inhabitate Facebook's pages are idiots or not. Which they probably are :D
[Desire General] mortuus82:
Bah so no on the air update? that sucks.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
anyone checked to see if it is S-Off?
[Desire General] black187:
So that means that we normal users (unrooted) cannot install it?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
you can instlal it by running the RUU on your laptop with the phone connected simples

it will unroot and reset to factory defaults
[Desire General] hekermeker:
"Hi everyone. We have more news about our build of Gingerbread for Desire. Our testing has gone well so we will begin rolling out the update by the end of July! Thank you again for your support!"

Ok.

Where is the rumor that it might be a ruu?How many times HTC released a rom by ruu, on any device???

The update on schedule was "by" not "at"...

"Testing has gone well" - that means that the update is in developer state or ready to release?What that means to you, smartass?

"It is not HTC's problem if majority of population who inhabitate Facebook's pages are idiots or not. Which they probably are :D" - do you have a Facebook page, moron? If you do, do you feel a little bit "idiotic"?
[Desire General] beel27:
Which RUU do i need to run??? :S
[Desire General] aaa:
Hmmm...it has been released....although still in development phase...

I hope the devs are already working something with this :)

Thanks in advance for the rooted official GB update :)
[Desire General] erklat:
Keyword - OTA! Do you see it? Anyone, do you see it? We are talking based on a facts from their announcements. What you do is jumping to some conclusions with no background.

No I don't thank god. I have some real friends on who will talk to me F2F. Nice thing you aligned yourself with the majority by yourself and I didn't have to do that. :D
[Desire General] itachi1706:
Is that RUU rootable?
[Desire General] Bingley:
Apparently unrevoked isn't currently working with this ruu.

What is the sense version?
[Desire General] Zane:
modified old one
[Desire General] KrewCial:
According to a tweet by Mark Moons (Director European Channel / Country Manager Benelux at HTC) there will not be an OTA upgrade and the "developer" version will be the only gingerbread upgrade. (source)

They never said they would release it OTA and Mark Moons had already stated they choose to make the upgrade more conventional. Yes, they were too late albeit a few hours, but in the end they did lie. I'm fine with the upgrade which they have released, but not the way they went about it. I expected them to keep us up-to-date on the development and if they had chosen to do so, we would have known more clearly how and when the upgrade would be released.

All in all, an average experience, seeing as it could have been much worse (Hero anyone?). To say I will never buy from HTC again, is too extreme imo, we don't know what the future brings. ;)
[Desire General] chichoko:
This cant be the official one... I still hope...

Sent from the infinity and beyond...
[Desire General] Lothaen:
looks like it debrands too? thats nice at least
[Desire General] erklat:
You can stop. You are not highlander xtr1m so I'll be polite. :)

From the info available from the people who flashed it, it seems /data took a hit from 147 to 121mb, meaning partition table has changed, meaning that it can't be done with an ota update, meaning there will be none.
[Desire General] Kermode:
What is RUU?
[Desire General] Kermode:
Oh no, I haven't a clue about that (and don't want to learn) - this is just the place where most people know about stuff, so i'm hoping some of what they say might be of use to me.

[Desire General] hepburn72:
Do you need to use a goldcard?? I need to know before I update.
[Desire General] skylt:
Just installed it and it took less than the 10 minutes claimed, very very simple by the way - the only apps provided as apk's in the zip and not in the rom is flashlight and teeter. Works brilliantly for me at least :)
[Desire General] hepburn72:
Did you use a goldcard?
[Desire General] happy20b:
Very sad that it is using old sense :( .. disappointed ..

I bought this cell 4 months back(unbranded) and it is already outdated ... :x

hope XDA will come up with better solution ...
[Desire General] Lothaen:
It's been out for about 1 and a half years though.

I've had mine for over a year now and it was already phone-of-the-year then :)

Excellent, I 'll try it soon.
[Desire General] TEXN36:
I know what HTC released as far as countries on the "no-go" list....Just wondering if anyone on Deutsch Telekom (Branded) has tried and had any luck....
[Desire General] Lothaen:
i haevnt - maybe worth trying the rooted version and you can flash back if not - but i suspect it's to do with the sms/mms settings personally

Hello

has anyone installed it already? i have.

Is it really an andriod 2.3.3?? All menues looks like the old one on my device.

Andriod 2.3.3 on desire HD looks like totaly different, cant be normal or?

Thanks 4 your reply
[Desire General] Wolfhound77:
I have it installed, is different to Desire HD due that sense is a different version
[Desire General] rey90:
ok thanks for this information, is there also an sense update availibe?

don´t think so - but hope so.. am i right?
[Desire General] samcory:
gingerbread

Just loaded it, cant really see the difference the only things I have noticed so far is when I long press the power button, silent mode has disappeared and reboot has appeared.

When I enter text and press on a word a little bubble apears and allows me to move the cursor back and forth without using the mouse.

I am sure there must be other goodies but I do not think at the moment it was worth the 2 hours it took to reinstall all my bits and bobs and get it working again they way like.

Can anyone list all the new bits so I can try them!
[Desire General] happy20b:
Dear all,

My phone is using stock froyo.. I was waiting for official GB + new sense .. thats y never tried to load custom ROM. But now im planing to flash some custom ROM please clear my doubts.

1] I believe i dont have to root my device to flash stock htc GB RUU from htc site.

2] I see many custom ROMs after yesterdays HTC stock GB release .. like stock insertcoin, Official RUU 3.14 Desire Gingerbread v1.2 etc etc... So do i have to still root my device before flashing them ?

3] In case if i flash a custom ROM , and then if i wan to go back to stock official HTC GB , would my desire rooted back again ? the reason y i am asking is , my cell is under warranty( 4 months old)

Thanks

How to root new rom?
[Desire General] Andaho:
I just installed 2.3... I was a bit worried about it because I've never tried rooting before or anything like it, but this was real easy... but now...

Does anyone know how to downgrade to revert back?

Here is the background as to why I want to downgrade: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16227825#post16227825
[Desire General] Futuredev.tjb:
Desire update North America

Has anyone in North America updated to the official 2.3? I'm trying to make sure everything is working before I update since HTC gave a warning for the region?
[Desire General] Par4:
1, Yes, no root needed for stock rom

2, Yes, except the official one

3, Yes, installing a stock rom removes root. (new rom cannot be rooted (yet) and gives problems reverting to old stock rom, because of newer hboot)

If you want to try the new rom best is to root the phone, flash it with insertcoin, this makes it easier to use other custom roms and reverting back to froyo with stock rom.
[Desire General] mug318ca:
I would like to know the same. I use a Telstra (Australia) phone on AT&T in the US. For the purposes of this RUU is this phone a US phone or an Australian phone? I did have to put in the AT&T APN information manually when I got this phone over a year ago. Maybe that is all that is necessary for this update.
[Desire General] roma_pop:
In new htc mail was unable to accept untrusted certificate in POPs or SMTP in SSL or TLS mode.

P.S.

Found possible problem solution.

Get cacerts.bks from device located /system/etc/security.

Get Portecle to PC.

Open your cacerts.bks

Download necessary certificate, for me worked .cer base64 encoding.

Add certificate (password field was empty for me).

Push back to device cacerts.bks /system/etc/security.

For me helped to open POPs on 995 port, and don't have any more question about untrusted certificate.

Best wishes
[Desire General] huongwk:
just root ur device. there are much better rom available compared to the one which HTC released. I get disappointed after knew that the gingerbread is not OTA and it may still buggy since it is for developers
[Desire General] erklat:
Zomg. :rolleyes:

It is stable and official. And it is for all experienced users. The bull you people sprout all over the place is unbelievable.
[Desire General] toopy:
Your phone, if it came from Telstra, is an australian phone. It will be a A8183 which is exclusive to Telstra. If it's got the Telstra logo on the back, its definately an Aus phone.
[Desire General] pjsmith:
Just a warning for anyone considering installing this. I did - wanted specifically the sip funcitonality, but now really regret that descision.

Wifi no longer works properly.

Bluetooth kills my car radio/sat nav (causes it to hang)

Some of my favourite essentail paid apps are 'not compatible' and cannot be installed.

I'd downgrade, but it appears there isn't a downgrade option! (I really should have checked that first!)
[Desire General] jjdoctor:
GingerBread Released for Developers......... hahahaha.. biggest Joke of decade...:D:D:D:D

If it is for developers then why is the Bootloader Locked?????:D
[Desire General] Draqula:
What do you mean by "Wifi no longer works properly"?

I have only tried it at home so far, but haven't noticed any problems.
[Desire General] pjsmith:
Normally wifi will latch on to any of your known ap's in range. Wifi on most occasions simply doesn't find my ap's unless I go in, turn off and on wifi, and it takes ages. On previous version you could walk in the house/office/cafe, and there it would be, attached and ready. I can sit in the house for an hour and it doesn't find it. Had a similar problem a very long time ago but a ota patch resolved it.

The killer for me though is that it will no longer pair with my car over bluetooh and my faviourite navionics app no longer is 'compatible'. Combine that with the wifi issues and I just want rid of it now, which is a shame. Other enhancements, although in many cases seemingly small, the exchange email client for instance, realy are good. Minor UI tweaks that do make it better
[Desire General] nightcrow:
Also flashed the GB-update. Haven't tested my car's BT-compatibility yet but the problems with the market-apps are bad. Can't install my Touchdown-key for example. Had this problem in the past with the first Samsung Galaxy. After every (leaked) update Google had to put the new rom to a whitelist or something like that. However in this case I wonder if it ever will be whitelisted considering the fact that it's a 'Developers-update'.

Now waiting for a way to root and S-off this rom :)
[Desire General] bradavon:
The Desire doesn't have the hardware to run Gingerbread + Sense. What do you expect HTC to do?

Expecting HTC to release a version without Sense is deluded. Sense is their cash cow.

My guess. They knew they had to release GB somehow (to much backlash) but didn't know what channel to release this on (clearly OTA isn't suitable).

That is ridiculous, especially after their statement to release new phones unlocked.
[Desire General] vszulc:
Haven't noticed any WiFi or Bluetooth problems either...

On the contrary, great ROM/update...

Phone is faster and much smoother (iphone-smooth), better browser and text editing, App2SD works MUCH better, and higher scores in all the benchmarking apps I've tried so far.

Only thing that's a slight drawback is the lack of root, but honestly, its not a huge deal... Can't imagine any custom ROM that could do a better job, so the only thing I need root for is to have even more apps run from the SD, Titanium Backup and have my SD overclocked. I can wait for a while for that...
[Desire General] acidxtreme:
i think about this update it´s a joke for the people that were expecting for Gingerbread to flash their devices.
[Desire General] octa_amide:
Just wait for the custom ROM to be out. I am waiting........:rolleyes:

[Desire General] erklat:
Any news about AuraxTremeGinger on his tweets?
[Desire General] nightcrow:
Does that mean that the official GB-update can be rooted and we can flash custom roms, or is he/she working on a rom based on the official GB-update? In case of the latter it isn't of any use for the ones that flashed the official update.
[Desire General] Loweack:
I think he/she's working on a ROM based on the officiel GB update.

Pff... I'm also running this rom.... And i want back to cm7 or something else... How long van we do wait? 4/5 months?,

Now, (in 2.1.7.) the rom is a port from Desire HD. The next version is based on official GB update.
[Desire General] nightcrow:
I thought so. Hoped it would mean developers are working on a way to root the official GB. Asked HTC about a way to go back tot Froyo since some basis stuff is malfunctioning. Hopefully the official rom will be rooted soon!
[Desire General] aygul12345:
Pfff....realy.. i can't wait for the root of hboot, so i can root of the phone, but how long can we waiting?

[Desire General] anastasios.p:
Did the update...

Hi guys, I did the RUU update. At a first glance everything seems to be the same with 2.2. No changes on the sense. After working a while with it I saw that scrolling is smoothier but sometimes the pinch to zoom seems to freeze for a sec or two. Fortunately this happens less and less as you continue using GB.

Now I am at day 2 of GB and I can only tell you one thing; BATTERY!!!!!!!!!!

My desire seems to need dramatical less power energy. I am so excited with this that at the beginning I thought this is too good to be true. I installed from the market a % battery indicator as since last afternoon that I fully charged it the battery icon was full and I thought maybe is not working properly. 16 hours after charging it battery was at 92% with moderate use and WIFI always on!!!!!!!!!! (OK I slept for 8 hours...:))

Hope this will be the case for anyone else try this update...

cheers
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Let us know when ur phone will shut donw..Probably at 40% it will shut down :D

because the battery need time for recalibrating itself
[Desire General] aledex:
I think the same, I've done the same update and I could tell that the battery lasts even less. On Idle it uses almost not power, that's true, but the very moment you turn on wi-fi or 3G, it's the end. If with froyo I needed to charge every day and a half, now I have to do it almost every 18 hours...

I don't look forward to receiving the unrevoked update.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] anastasios.p:
Oh no... You destroyed it for me... :(

I will let you know though. By the way now it's on 87% now. Probably you are right. It's like having a 3000mAh battery... At least frezzing while pinch and zoom stopped.
[Desire General] onggw:
I have notice improvement in battery life. Usually would be flat by in 5 hours if I leave 3G, auto sync, WiFi on.

However any desires experience automatic power off at 15% after the warning was shown?
[Desire General] decmk:
Same here at 13%.
[Desire General] erklat:
Mine and brothers at 9% if I use it. If it is at sleep state then I see 5% warning even. Install Quick system info and check how much mV you have. Phone will go off at ~3600mV.

Hey guys!

I've got a problem with my launcher (GO Launcher EX)...when I use another app, which needs more free RAM, it freezes for about 3 seconds and I have to wait for about 10 seconds when my all apps are shown in App Drawer...

Where's the problem? (sry for my english)
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
What ROM?

What ROM are you using? There's a setting in Cyanogen Mod that forces the launcher to stay. You can also use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1126940 , which is a mod that changes the way the RAM works for performance and to keep the home launcher application running.

I'm running on Mur4ik's RC1 ROM....I'm checking this option right now, I gonna try if it helps :)

I read about V6 script, but I don't want it. Instead of it I'm using Autokiller Memory Optimizer, which I think is same as V6 script :)
[GT540 Optimus General] nutterbg:
Yes, it's the same. CyanMod 7 has an option to lock home in memory under "Performance". Also, GO Launcher may also have such a feature. I don't know, I use LauncherPro. Good luck

Sorry if this topic should be posted somewhere else...

I am a heavy user of Spotify on the mobile, I really like it and since you have the ability to sync all your music to the phone for offline use (subway)

I have 30+ invitations so if someone (Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK, France, Spain, The Netherlands or the US) need a invitation let me know (I know Spotify just opened as a closed beta in the US)... and your wish should be heard!

PS: there is a monthly fee (to Spotify) in addition if you want to use this on the phone, but its worth it...

Hi,

I did a search and I'm not sure if this is the final version.

Someone posted this in the Desire General Forums.

It's available at http://developer.htc.com/

http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade.zip

Please don't flame me if its not the final version.

The following is a copy and paste from the website:

This update is only recommended for expert users who want to experience Android 2.3 and understand the limitations which apply to this update. Due to memory constraints several applications have been removed from this update and we are only offering the ROM upgrade utility (RUU) for you to download. Please note that flashing this ROM will erase your previous customizations, including any messages, emails, contacts, and other personal information. We suggest you take advantage of your Google account and other backup solutions available on the Android Market to ensure you do not lose your personal data. Your SD card will not be erased or modified.

The major changes in this update include:

- All customizations, including operator applications, will be removed.

- All wallpapers, except the default wallpaper, will be removed from the ROM code and included in the zip file.

- Several HTC applications will be removed from the ROM code and included in the zip file.

- The official Facebook application will be removed and is downloadable on the Android Market.

Note: This ROM update is for development only and not for general public use. Upgrades to non-authorized phones may result in loss of functionality. In addition certain functions may no longer be usable after re-flashing the ROM, including but not limited to MMS and SMS and HTC also disclaims liability for any unusable functions. HTC disclaims liability for the loss and/or leakage of any personal data resulting from the re-flashing of the ROM.

Exclusions: The following regional variants are not-compatible with this upgrade: Germany (Telekom Deutschland), North America, South Korea, and Japan.
