I downloaded the first RUU linked to in this thread, connected the DHD and 15 or so minutes later, all has been updated and working grand;) I am a complete luddite so it'll be super easy for anyone else...
[Desire HD General] SeaViper:
Do you need to have rooted your DHD for this?
[Desire HD General] chartig:
Bonsoir,

OTA reached France ! but ...

Same issue for me (triangle with exclamation mark and android robot on screen)

Rom 2.50.405 on unbranded DHD got thru AAHK

Fortunately by removing the battery I went back !

I'm hesitating to load RUU, as I will lose my personnal data
[Desire HD General] smudgelab:
Hi there, nope, i'm paranoid about warranties and this is still within the warranty. It's as stock as you can get. Gotta look after each other us Yorkies ;). Best of luck with it all SeaViper...
[Desire HD General] SeaViper:
Downloading it now! :) Cheers mate! One last question, do you lose all your data, ie texts after you install this?
[Desire HD General] zelendel:
Ok guys dont try to use the OTA if you have rooted or are running a custom rom. You will not like the outcome. Besides we already have a custom rom with this base and without the bloat built in
[Desire HD General] smudgelab:
Aye oop again ;), yes it will wipe ALL your stuff so download something like sms backup and restore just before doing it and back the texts up to SD card. Then after, download again and smply resore them. The set up process will ensure that your gmail stuff drops back onto the phone again, any paid apps will show in the market ready to D/L again and google again will drop your contacts back on the phone after the re-start...

I'll caveat the above with a huge - it did all the above on mine but naturally I can't guarantee anything, I again refer you to my luddite statement earlier...

Good luck :)
[Desire HD General] SeaViper:
Installed perfectly!

Thank you again! :)

not in Singapore yet. :(
[Desire HD General] kpf16:
So with the new ota you get full sence 3.0? Do you also get an a update to the android OS or dose that stay the same?
[Desire HD General] Sandy-Sun:
Hello! Please clarify me. If the devise is for asia market (CID HTC_044 for Singapore original). So the european update is not available. Is any info from somewhere regarding the ability for this sw for our devices? What is the time gap for that? Thanks
[Desire HD General] emreeken:
Still no update in Turkey.
[Desire HD General] petarpetrovic:
Just updated in Serbia, DHD SIM free. I like the new Sense pretty much, I'll see how it behaves overall in the next couple of days.
[Desire HD General] Beer Lover:
failed update

Serbia, Telenor (but not locked to carrier)

rooted stock with aahk

failed ota update.

immediately after reboot (white screen), i have progress-bar for a moment,

but then i have a triangle with exclamation mark.

phone reacts to touch buttons with slight vibration...

after battery pull, i get back to old stock rom :confused:.

deleted ota file from sd card, and tried again, but with same result

(and i did not have any beer in mean time, which might be the cause of fail);)
[Desire HD General] Jal84:
Downloaded the update yesterday and it seems to work fine for now.

I hope HTC have unblocked the bootloaded with this update to allow custom rom loading as there will be no ICS for DHD. How can I verify that ?
[Desire HD General] Twistedpro:
hopefully the OTA will make it to the UK today if it does'nt how would the RUU update from the UK OTA
[Desire HD General] kinus:
more people got such problem, including me, but there wasnt any helpful response.

i wonder if i can install this update using recovery and "install zip from sd" option and if i use it, do i loose all stuff on phone.
[Desire HD General] giorgoscr:
I recieved and installed the OTA update last night here in Greece. It seems to work just fine.
[Desire HD General] blountish:
does this update include beats

Right I havent got a rooted desire HD and was wondering if this update includes beats audio and headset controls using the default music app?

thanks
[Desire HD General] abhishekagrawal:
As far as I know, your update will not be successful if you are rooted, in that case you can either flash the RUU posted earlier to get the stock ROM(unrooted) woth Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0 or there is a rooted version of this very ROM in Development forum which you can flash. But yes you will lose all your data in either case.

There will not be any Beats audio integration for sure, headset controls I don't know since I have not got the update yet in India, maybe someone else can share information about this.
[Desire HD General] Mavican:
Considering how long the last update took to roll out ill probably end up with it next year
[Desire HD General] mail2eswar:
Can someone give us the changelog?
[Desire HD General] Beer Lover:
as kinus asked earlier, if we flash ota zip from recovery, will we loose data??

i saw rooted official ruu in forum, but would rather flash this ota (i'm lasy)

thank you,

Beer Lover
[Desire HD General] littleC4:
i also not so sure. when i get it, will update here.;)
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
the change log is massive my friend

a completely overhaul of Sense, its now 3D accelerated by the GPU all HTC apps redone
[Desire HD General] Pruikki:
SO is it Good! or should i wait to see if people will have Bugs?? is it really good to go?

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

no beats 4 desire HD. or perhaps put APK in update folder and //.....
[Desire HD General] guchi143:
When will OTA arrive in germany?

Is there another way ican update? If I don't receive OTA?

Thanks friends!
[Desire HD General] sssache:
Update triangle ...

I have downloaded the updated but the smartphone show only the triangle and the green robot. Pull out the battery and back to the old version. I think it's because i have root. I saw in the other users post's that they had the same problem. Do you have root on your hd ?
[Desire HD General] Aamir.Badat:
why would you update through OTA it will break root and you will have to downgrade to root again so just wait for a custom rom without the bloat; )
[Desire HD General] Pruikki:
DOES ANYONE HAVE UNLOCKSCREEN ISSUES?

my sense 3.0 Unlock Circle thingy aint working!
[Desire HD General] sayyedariff:
no update in Saudi Arabia

hope to have the updates in Saudi Arabia soon as in EU they've started to receive
[Desire HD General] graphitee:
I hope this will help some people.

I have UK based unbranded, unrooted, totally as it came in the box Desire HD with UK t mobile sim.

I had a notification to download & install latest update which I did.

Download approx 7 minutes via wifi

install started and green progress bar went to 100% in about 5-10 minutes (I wasn't taking that much notice.

Then everything seemed to stop with the green question mark others have mentioned. I was getting worried and was thinking of taking the battery out but after about 20 minutes the phone rebooted on it's own with the new software!

I have not had much time to play but it looks good.

this may seem silly but don't pull the circle thingy down but push it up.
[Desire HD General] ljubisat100:
Good you didn't took your battery out during green thingy halt. You could brick your phone. Read here about the guy who did that, and his phone is totaly dead. Be patient and wait, instruction warns you not to shut down the phone or take the battery out.
[Desire HD General] Laatst:
If it wasn't for you guys I would have never found out, thanks! I have to say, Sense 3.0 is beautiful and installing was a breeze, just have to be a bit patient. I love the option to make folders, made my home screen so smooth. However, I want to be able to adjust the order of the apps within the folder. What else is new apart from the animations and different lock screen?
[Desire HD General] rayzha:
i really want this update.. from what i see in this forum,many people has got the update... but not for me, i'm at malaysia... when will this update gonna be available in malaysia :(....

i also email to htc support about this update, but the reply i got is this:

"Dear Ray Zha,

Thank you for contacting HTC.

With reference to your query, we are deeply sorry to inform you that HTC sense 3.0 won't be available for HTC Desire HD at the moment. And as for the android 2.3.5, we haven't been informed any news about it on this phone model yet. Please kindly check our official website to get the latest information"
[Desire HD General] zelendel:
If you want the official Update contact your carrier as not all models of this phone will get the update. Take the US version. IT has a 90% chance of never seeing this as an official update.
[Desire HD General] rayzha:
huhuhu how about sim-free DHD? will it get the official update?
[Desire HD General] zelendel:
Do I look like HTC?:D:D:D:D Joking. I have no idea man. Your best bet to stay up to date is using a custom rom.
[Desire HD General] veseliak:
Just arrived in Bulgaria!!!

Installed the OTA without any problems on my unrooted HD!
[Desire HD General] Pruikki:
Weird that bit rate thing! low light videos are now better! but audio is funny!

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

Bluetooth 3.0

avaivable ram is now 600mb (used to be 650mb or so)

better low light camera performance plus some new fetures( just 1 and its scenes)

new gallery.

Htc watch

And UI customisations.

Nothing Big, but Performance IS HUGE. i mean in Quadrant atleast! on 2.3.3 its 1400-1600 now its 2000-2100
[Desire HD General] Mavican:
As usual its still not popped up. Must be a batch number thing, I got mine a week after it was released last year and have had to wait while everyone else gets it. The sods.
[Desire HD General] Zite747:
Hi there Pruikki!

How can you get those performance with stock/official release of sense 3 and android 2.3.5??? I only get the maximum: 1838 in Quadrant.

That's weird? You have a custom rom ?
[Desire HD General] zelendel:
Guys please dont put too much stock in the quadrent scores. They truly are meaningless. I have run it on five 100% stock devices and gotten different scores each and every time on each device. Use real world use to determine how it is running.
[Desire HD General] Zite747:
And I have another problem. I can't manage to reach the carousel spinning mode. I'm trying the hardest I can to navigate trough the panels but I can't reach the carousel mode :(. The panels are changing to slow. Is there another one with this problem?

And I find this new update to be more slow in performance than 2.3.3 and sense 2.1. I have waited this update for sooo long, and now I'm a little disappointed about it :(....
[Desire HD General] henklbr:
Installed the OTA-update yesterday, but after installation by DHD kept rebooting...

Only solution was to restore to Factory Settings, and now everything's working OK...

I'm using my DHD as secondary phone now, so I've all the time to restore everything and reinstall my apps!
[Desire HD General] Mavican:
I'm getting 1250 on quadrant with 2.3.3 so I'm looking for the update to sort it. And to be fair mine likes to reset itself if its had enough for a couple days. And I reckon it could be a tad quicker
[Desire HD General] accesser:
I'm getting the download now in Australia very slowly (Over ADSL Wifi)

Unbranded DHD on Vodafone

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

Any info on how to install the OTA update on a rooted DHD (ACE hack) with stock rom 2.3.3 ?

On reboot it failed to install the update after downloading

I'd be happy to loose root access so I can try out this update

For now phone boots fine with previous stock rom but wants be to install the update.

Do I need to return to S-on
[Desire HD General] abhishekagrawal:
There is a rooted version of this posted in Development thread, you can install that to retain root and also have this ROM.

Still no luck for OTA update in Hong Kong
[Desire HD General] atrako1973:
i find it hard to believe that htc would release an ota with awfully laggy slippy 3D CAROUSEL IT REALLY NEED A BIG KICK IN THE ASS TO SPIN, why is it so smooth on sensation both sense 3 no? shame on you htc:mad:
[Desire HD General] dpk:
Anyone with a UK Orange branded device received anything yet? Can't wait for this.
[Desire HD General] henklbr:
It's NOT laggy on my DHD, but then: after installation of the OTA, I went back to default factory settings (my DHD kept rebooting after the update!) . . .

Everything works smoothly now!
[Desire HD General] atrako1973:
I'm not talking about the rom , 3d carousel what I'm on about mate, Well I advice you to try the sensation 3d carousel and then you will see how smooth It is
[Desire HD General] Zite747:
I have meet the same problem with the carousel. It's very lagy and very difficult to obtain the spinning mode
[Desire HD General] monsterr:
Is there any info on when htc will be releasing ics, if they're gonna make an upgrade for our device at all
[Desire HD General] dalanik:
damn, we just got sense 3 and 2.3.5, how can you talk about ICS!!! BTW Sense 3 rocks, it is soooo smooth and so much better....

i'm in australia with an unbranded DHD (which came from the UK) and still no OTA
[Desire HD General] accesser:
Thanks ! I now have this running on my DHD in Australia very happy as its my first rom upgrade / change since I used ACE to gain root to my previous stock rom

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

Hmm that's strange mine is unbranded in Australia I think mine was also from the UK I ordered it from Mobi City online

So your doing a manual check for updates right whilst connected to internet etc
[Desire HD General] vlase_2:
no wifi and bluetooth after update

Updated to 2.3.5 in Romania. I get wifi error, bluetooth says connecting and then it does noething. Also the up volume key doesn't seem to respond :( Any guess?
[Desire HD General] makaveli25:
i've not had issues with other previous OTA, and I havent been the last to get it previosuly, but this time.....i just havent got it

and yes, i'm connected and constantly checking (using that checkin thing and then getting the phone to check for any updates)

i've waited this long, a few more days wont hurt, but hopefully i get it soon, or i'll have to root and put a rom on
[Desire HD General] pcusim:
You also have two more options: install the update using the official RUU or root your phone and install the rooted stock ROM.

Just take a look in the android development section and you'll find all you need.

Personally I would advice to install rooted version, as the official release, at present, isn't rootable, once you install it.
[Desire HD General] olyloh6696:
It's funny how you guys begged HTC so much for sense 3.0, but now you're all negative against it.

the new 2.3.5 with sens 3.0 is out in denmark now :D
[Desire HD General] pcusim:
I've been on revolution HD until a few days ago. Now that I'm on the stock sense 3.0 I am definitely completely satisfied. No lags, good battery life, no bugs so far. In forums satisfied people don't usually fill threads saying how much they're happy with their phones. Forums are mostly used by the ones that have problems...
[Desire HD General] Khairul Anwar:
Still waiting for update in Malaysia.
[Desire HD General] abhishekagrawal:
yes, so true! I remember the thread "where's my Sense 3.0" filled with all sorts of comments and people saying they will not buy HTC again on their FB page also. Now that its here, I guess we are all impatient for ICS now. but technology is always evolving, if at all they give us ICS, we will again be saying why no Jellybean!

me too waiting for it in India.

Can't wait to see this update on my DHD in Slovakia :)

Few days ago, they changed my motherboard in the phone so i lost root, and maybe i will be running on official ROM for more time :)
[Desire HD General] K.Chan:
still no update here in australia (3 Australia)... :mad:
[Desire HD General] croutledge:
My phone updated early last week an i'm Vodafone UK. No problems during update and none since. All running fine.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
sense 3 launcher can lock at 60fps smooth if you have root, check the link in my signature (ultra and super smooth rosie)

its laggy even in sensation unless you optimise it with this mod

as for 3d carrousel spin, its harder to invoke with the DHD version but its there

keep flinging very hard and it will spin
[Desire HD General] atrako1973:
why is it harder to invoke ? how can htc miss that ? is it fixable ? can we make the 3d carousel spin normally without breaking our fingers ?
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
the question is: why is it so important mate? its a useless feature

im sure its fixable but im sure no one has the time to spend it tracking a smali change for something silly like this

sorry i meant no offense

what matters is the features of sense 3.0 like lockscreen and the overall refinement in everything the spin effect is just useless eye candy
[Desire HD General] sumit soni:
are we gonna get ny updates in india or not ???? for Desire S .. im dying ... i was just waiting for the official update .. if it doesnt come till 31st .. i'll flash it ... TnX XDA for this option .. will never buy HTC again :mad:
[Desire HD General] Clmac:
No update as yet for me. Unbranded DHD Vodafone UK
[Desire HD General] abhishekagrawal:
Dude, you may not buy HTC again but still its the best manufacturer. Samsung and all look so cheap and I personally love Sense. Can't stand the touchwiz in Samsung or stock android(except ICS).

Yes even am waiting for update in India and daily my patience is running out and i feel like rooting but installing the custom ROM but then I still have warranty, plus HTC had never even promised full Sense 3.0 for our devices yet they provided it, and I am sure after UK they will release in Asia and then India will get it. Similar happened for Gingerbread also. We got it about 3-4 weeks later. And I still have high hope that just like this, considering DHD is their most popular model and all the hue and cry, some time later next year they will give ICS too.
[Desire HD General] K.Chan:
actually it is reasonable to believe that HTC will update all phone to sense 3.0, as apple had the slide to unlock patent in U.S. - hints the cost of dev roms and update all current phone is cheaper than risking a law suit with apple.
[Desire HD General] mythrill:
Still nothing here in Geneva, Switzerland... :-(
[Desire HD General] audiavant:
Norway users got 2.3.5 today :)
[Desire HD General] TurkeySub:
My unbranded Desire HD still has not received the update so I have two questions.

1) If I install this RUU and there is another update in the future, will it come through the system update section in about phone automatically or will I have to flash the update.

2) Do I need a backup of the old 2.3.3 file?

EDIT: Now worries, downloading RUU now. Hopefully everything goes smoothly :)
[Desire HD General] AdamiX:
RUU will delete all yours files. Just wait for the over air update ;)

The question is, will it blend? Oh, no, i mean, can we root it now? :D
[Desire HD General] kenok:
Got the update on my Vodafone Ireland Desire HD this morning and the phone has been rebooting all day. Gets all apps started and then dies. Seems to even occur in Safe Mode. Tried different launchers as well. Does not stay up long enough for me to uninstall any apps.

Unless anyone has any bright ideas I think it will a factory reset for me. :(
[Desire HD General] garethjknight:
Me neither - unbranded DHD on Orange UK. I seem to remember it took a while to get Gingerbread last time.

One quick question - when I check for updates I still have the small WiFi update which I don't want as mine works fine. I assume that when the 2.3.5 update pops up it will let me choose which I want to install?
[Desire HD General] MrKaon:
Do factory reset, then everything will be fine :)
[Desire HD General] dalanik:
I flashed from RUU, formated the SD card, and it still did reboots.... but it was doing this even prior to update (since gingerbread update), but like once a week or every 2-3 weeks, which wasn't so bad. My friends tell me I have way too many apps, but IMHO no matter what or how much you install shouldn't result in REBOOT.

Sent it to service yesterday, will see how it goes....
[Desire HD General] mayonoel:
I got notification on Sunday about the system update but I haven't been able to install it after several attempts. about an over the air update for my HTC Desire HD. From what I can see it's Sense 3.0 and a few other tweaks. It's over 220mbs in size.

The update downloads fine (although it says it is 226MBs and I have noticed that someone said their's was 277MBs) and when I go to install it, the phone powers off and the installation screen comes on and the installation begins. However, about a third the way through the installation stops and an image of a phone with a red exclamation symbol in a triangle is static on the screen.

To start the phone again I either have to take out the battery and put it back in or use the Power & Volume button to bring up the menu from which if I choose Install update from sdcard, the update doesn't install and the phone just reboots and the phone runs as it was.

I did a factory reset on it thinking that it might work then but that didn't work either.

Last night I went through the process again before going to bed in the hope that after several hours the phone might move passed the static screen. I woke up this morning but it was still on the static screen.

I'm on the Vodafone Ireland network, the phone is locked to them and the phone is not rooted, nor have I ever rooted it. Any ideas what the problem might be or is there something I can do to get it to install?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire HD General] YounesA:
Hi All, just joined up having come across this great forum. I have not had any updates yet, on my DHD, I just spoke to HTC who advise that they are pushing them out in batches :(

I am in the UK and with Voda using an unbranded handset which I got as a replacement from HTC.

Anyone know what number they use to determine the batch of phone for the updates? would it be the IMEI or the Device Serial No?
[Desire HD General] kenok:
Yup you were right Factory reset complted and all is very fine :) , need to remember all the app I had installed now.

Thanks for your advice.
[Desire HD General] abhishekagrawal:
How much internal memory you have free on device?
[Desire HD General] mayonoel:
I had over 600MBs when I tried installing it originally. Since I did a factory reset i have over a 1GB as I haven't bothered reloading apps knowing that I will have to install them all again when I do eventually install the update.
