a) HTC already published official bootloader unlocker

b) I dont think anyone whith Desire still has active warranty

c) They could publish this stuff with an agreement, that modifying partition table is at users own risk.

[Desire General] imnamak:
I'm with both hands for this, BUT as we saw previously HTC does't care about old customers, they are pushing new models like "if you want an update then buy a new model" ...so I am very pessimistic about this, and will think before buying new phone

I trust most of the work of Our Partner "cooks" that HTC ... those who only care about selling mobile ...

Technically unfeasible ... look what they did with the update to 2.3 .... you think you would do with ICS ....
[Desire General] elladan7:
this isn't happening mate. just sit tight for CM9 or use one of the beta ROMs....
[Desire General] ShclasH:
There is no way HTC will waste manhours of devs for something like that. If anyone wants ICS he's left with custom ROMs.

Anyways good luck, they say miracles happen.

Maybe its smarter that we go for sense 2.1 on desire petition...maybe we could have more chances...couse we all know that official 4.0 is more that science fiction.:)
[Desire General] stankyou:
Lets say that HTC gives in and makes AOSP ICS for Desire then what? Then the users of the rest of the other devices that came out after Desire would want one as well. A giant freakin headache for them don't you think?

In short, not gonna happen. If you want ICS, buy a new device that supports it or stay with your Desire and be content with those beta ICS roms.
[Desire General] danarama:
Exactly, NONE of the requests in this thread will happen. Everybody give up and concentrate on something important like making sure your children grow up well-adjusted or whatever

[Desire General] exocetdj:
this aint happening. although i am waiting for the ics sensation port :)
[Desire General] Se3ek:
In general it would be smart of HTC to update even the old devices like the Desire because I think there are many consumers who choose their manufacturer according to their update-policy.

Remember the issue of the Galaxy S line to even get to 2.2? Of course, the update came, but only after many people freaking out about it did Samsung realize they had to do it.

After this issue, I absolutely won't buy a Samsung that is not a Nexus. Following this, if HTC was to bring us Desire-users stock ICS (because they can't fit Sense on it, fingers crossed), my next device would be HTC again, even if I bought it half a year later because my current device is still running the newest software, it might be a gain of HTC because otherwise, I'd buy the Nexus.

I also wouldn't be sad if they do it like with the Gingerbread "update" and just do a developer-version of stock ICS, because I think ICS would be ported much easier that way.

Still I think stankyou is right, they would have to port it to every device that is capable of running it, because they can't just say "It was our flagship once". What they could say, though, is that it is close to the Nexus One, but that won't get us anywhere.
[Desire General] erklat:
There is a reason why are such consumers a fools. The only thing that counts when you're shopping is hardware. No amount of updates will change that and to think otherwise is the greatest misconception known to mankind.
[Desire General] stankyou:
Yeah. Hardware specification is where it's at. Manufacturers can change their update policy on a fly but not the hardware. If you have a good hardware, then you'll get updates may it be official or not. Keep in mind that Desire came out with Eclair and it's running ICS beta roms now. It's not a perfect device (cough! internal memory. cough!) but it's a pretty solid device.
[Desire General] ntan97:
I agree with this movement looking at HTC s previous statements I don't think it'll happen.
[Desire General] wawan29:
I think Qualcomm petition is more relevant for old HTC. If HTC could provide us ICS why not but I prefer custom rom :-)

The desire beta version from sandvold could be more robust with hardware support...
[Desire General] Se3ek:
That's your opinion. I personnally prefer official updates before customRoms and therefore, if I knew a manufacturer updates devices further than another, I'd prefer to buy the device of the first one. Provided, of course, the hardware fits my needs (which doesn't necessarily mean the highest end of all phones).
[Desire General] huzi_a:
I'd love this, but i'd like it slightly Sensed rather than no sense or full sense. I.E the lockscreen, widgets and some menu aspects.
[Desire General] jukyO:
Done. Hope it will help.
[Desire General] danarama:
It won't
[Desire General] tomekwl3:
Do you really belive that such petition could help? Desire is too old and we shouldn't expect official update (look at 'official' gb). I think that we should talk with them about GPU drivers for ICS, but in my opinion even without them we are able to get fully-functional ICS rom for Desire (texasice is making great progress with hwa on N1 :) )
[Desire General] effepas:
It could be useful have an official ICS Kernel (or an Official ICS Rom) as base for cooking new ones... ;)

Who said about buying a new phone every year? What I'm saying is that if you want ICS badly then it's time to upgrade.. and make sure you buy the latest so that you can get your money's worth of upgrades to last for more than a year.

The Desire had a good run... it came out with Eclair if I am not mistaken and it ended with Gingerbread. IMO that's getting your money's worth already. But if you bought it late in the game, then you get what you pay for.

I agree that it would be nice to get a working kernel for ICS as a minimum as that gives developers all the latest tweaks and more importantly, hardware acceleration.

Sadly though, it's time to accept that the Desire is essentially EOL (End Of Life) :(

Signed up, but in way, but as everyone else states, it won't happen. The policy on these companies is to take care of their "current" customers, not the ones that cannot afford a new phone anyway...

Esp. Point 2. a 2 yr old phone, in tech terms for phones that's known as 'hardware refresh' time :-)

Leave it to XDA, you don't need official dev from HTC, they're doing the S and HD, plenty of devs here have the skill to port that acroos to the original Desire. And if they don't want to spend their time on it, I for one wouldn't blame them. I've had 2 great years from this device and am currently running 2.3.7 which works with all the apps I need.
[Desire General] kassarin:
It won't happen. Sense is HTC's unique feature. They don't have any reason to remove it. Plus, we have to admit that the Desire is an old phone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfile102:
I Downloaded and installed the ICS update last night and have been living in hell since. It doesn't have the soft buttons it is supposed to, so navigating through everything is an absolute nightmare! I want to go back to my standard rooted phone. But I have followed MANY, MANY guides, and it will not work. I have downloaded 10 different ROMS and FIRMWARES today and Flashed OVER AND OVER. I am completely stuck and NEED help please.

I have used Recovery to try and install new Roms, Used Odin as well, and I get problems EVERY time. It will reboot, load, and as soon as the "Touch the Android to Begin" logo comes up, It starts having process failures popping up over and over, preventing me from being able to do anything. Forcing me to reflash to ICS again.

Can someone please explain the process to take it back to stock so I can re-root it?

Phistachio - I followed your link, but when you get to the following step:

4) Download the necessary files : the Kernel, the Recovery Package and the Bootloader (it's the old one, which you can easily use a USB JIG to reset the counter and remove the yellow triangle when having a custom kernel or OS),

The link provided for the Recover Package is a Hotfile.com link, and the Archive that it downloads is PASSWORD PROTECTED, and there is no mention of a password anywhere on the page you provided, nor on the hotfile.com page.

Any Ideas?

I followed all the instructions, and my phone rebooted into the ROM. But it is not stock. My Back and Search buttons still do not work, and the Recovery is 3e, so I cant use the Recovery function because my model (US AT&T) doesn't have the OK button. Since I cant get it to take a screenshot, i'll list the info below:

Android Version: 2.3.5

Baseband Version: I9100XXKI3

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI3-CL577579 se.infra@SEP-55 #2

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXKI3

I just want to get it back to AT&T Stock, or a WORKING 2.3.6. But as it stands, It doesnt work properly, because my Back Button does not work, nor my Search button.

All Guidance is appreciated. I want to get back to the Stock Bootloader, not the ICS Bootloader

I doubt the boot screen has ALWAYS said GT-I9100. I'm betting it only started displaying that AFTER you flashed a GT-I9100 firmware to it. Be more careful about what you flash to your phone. You wouldn't flash a Nexus firmware to your phone, would you? Only flash SGH-I777 firmwares, do NOT flash any firmwares from any forums that are for any model of phone that DOESN'T match yours.

---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

I'm guessing you're still flashing GT-I9100 firmwares to try to fix your SGH-I777 phone. STOP DOING THAT. Go to the SGH-I777 forum. Pulsar linked it above. Get a firmware from there.

EDIT: I just peeked at your profile, and saw you are currently viewing a post in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727 forum. A word of advice. Don't flash any firmwares from THAT forum either. I don't think firmwares from SGH-I727 and SGH-I777 are compatible with each other, since there are some minor hardware differences between those two phones.

So, I recently bought an as is transformer on ebay for about $150. I really wanted the parts from it to repair a TF. When I got it, the first thing I noticed was there was not a scratch on there. The thing looks like new. The serial was a b50. After I charged it, I decided to turn it on and saw that it went right into apx mode.

So, I nvflashed it. OMG, it works! It's working flawlessly. I even restarted it several times to make sure it wasn't in apx bootloop.

I know. This was just an extreme luck thing. We all here knows that apx mode looks like the thing is bricked. A tablet can go into apx mode automatically if there's something wrong with the bootup.
