Well if you read Engadgets update, you would know that they said this: "Update: It's been made official! Notifications will go out starting August 3, but Sprint's doing something extremely cool by allowing eager users to opt-in early and grab the download at their choosing..."
[Desire General] foxmeister:
No, because the Nexus One has already had an update.

Of course, what they've said is still technically true, since no other carrier will be releasing a 2.2 update for the Evo! ;)

HTC_NL changed their bio to "Facts and fiction about HTC" ? or not?

[Desire General] shakie_uk:
patience!

I have had a little chuckle reading some of the comments on this thread. Some of the comments are so commical in the anger and agressiveness extolled. It has made me visualize a hoard of eager soldiers with hard-ons standing outside a Brothel waiting for it to open.

Have patience combatants! as many tech sites have stated, HTC will roll out this 2.2 update in the next few days AS LONG as testing goes ok. so cool your pants....

after all, would you dip your wick into a prostitute without some protection? - some sort of garantee that you wont get something dodgy from the transaction????

:p
[Desire General] shakie_uk:
oh, I have a desire from carphone wharehouse that is not operator branded......although, I am with orange. does that mean I may get it this weekend? cool.

Gizmodo just confirmed with official HTC source, Froyo should be available for Factory Unlocked European Desires in the weekend !! =D

Can't wait for it !! at least 720p video recording has been confirmed :)

[Desire General] b-george:
YES YES

From engadget,

We've just heard directly from HTC regarding that hotly anticipated upgrade to Android 2.2: it's happening this weekend for lucky Euroland owners of the Desire. Provided your Sense-loaded 3.7-incher is not carrier-locked, you should be receiving your serving of Froyo by the end of the week, and 720p video capture with it to boot. HTC is also throwing in its App Share widget that it first introduced in the Wildfire, along with its smart Caller ID feature. Very nice, though it's quite a shame that operator-specific versions of the update are still stuck in testing and are expected "in several weeks' time." Ah well, guess that'll teach us to buy our gear unlocked.
[Desire General] shakie_uk:
is carrier un-locked the same as unbranded? i have an orange desire form carphone warehouse. it has no branding or orange widgets/software but came with an orange sim......do I need to hi-jack a friend who is not with orange and test their sim on my phone?
[Desire General] darrenjdoc:
For anyone that has used any of the custom Froyo roms - Is there much of a difference compared to 2.1 ?
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
finally a official announcement :)

lets hope one of the dev's here will be able to grab the update and root it.

I dont wanna unroot my dersire so need to wait.
[Desire General] debug77:
Cracking news.

They also mentioned syncing music with iTunes. Be interesting to see how long that works for! :)
[Desire General] bugmenever:
Anyone know how this would work for o2 UK phones?

They are carrier unlocked and and have no added apps / customization except for the boot animation...
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
if your phone has no orange branding or software then yes its a unbranded phone.

You will ger the update.

Also everyone who has installed a generic 2.1 official formware will get it too. Only those still running network specific ROMs will need to wait.
[Desire General] r47z:
shouldn't be too much of a difference just a few added stuff + stability + faster FPS in 720p!! Devs should be upgrading their ROMs this weekend as well! Can't wait! woot!
[Desire General] bugail:
Just had a direct message from tmobileukhelp on twitter. They said they're expecting a roll out of froto to the desire in september.
[Desire General] knights191:
The link to the Engadget article
[Desire General] b-george:
I Think all orange desires is carrier locked, but you can buy a unlock code from ebay i'm not sure you will get over-the-air update then because the updates is made by imei nrs. Just wait for the rooted version it will be the same and you will have it faster no need to wait for the over-the-air update.
[Desire General] b-george:
you will get over-the-air update this weekend.
[Desire General] suleymanc:
I have a question. I have unlocked and unrooted Desire from HK. I installed and offical WWE ROM using Goldcard and I use the phone in Turkey.

Will I recieve the OTA update? Will it be WWE, Europen or Asian ROM?

Or is there chance that the offical Froyo ROM will be avaliable to download as a RUU?
[Desire General] predo:
yeah I have a question along similar lines.

which unbranded rom I need to put on Desire now to get OTA?

RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe

Or

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
[Desire General] spritable:
Am I lucky or what... updating... :P
[Desire General] DaaT:
Cool :) But me with no wifi to download from and only 25MB/day of 3G... argh...
[Desire General] spritable:
Except that I'm lucky, I'm also good with Photoshop. It was just a joke :)

are you joking ore this is real???? :)
[Desire General] febelus:
ok....you are joking...... :(
[Desire General] LuCkYaN:
HTC Romania confirmed that in weekend HTC Desire will get OTA FroYo :)
[Desire General] daming:
Today in HTC China official site I found the desire spec shows OS is 2.2.

www.htc.com/cn/product/desire/specification.html

But I do not think the OTA update is so soon.
[Desire General] cyron_at:
when using a custom rom which is already 2.2 will ota update work or must I go back to stock rom????
[Desire General] peewster:
It's nice, but i'll wait with updating (root loss). I'm curious about the "secret" future though.
[Desire General] Syd159:
I'm in France right now. Nice... a Dutch upgrade abroad. :)
[Desire General] foxmeister:
This is mostly true, however there are still some apps that refuse to move. I suspect that in these cases, the developer has specifically stated that moving to SD card is not allowed.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] TriNeo:
Would really like to know this as well...
[Desire General] poope:
No, you can update with a custom rom, but will lose root
[Desire General] Nit3m4re:
About time lol.. Really cant be asked to root on this phone lol
[Desire General] otijhuis:
Re:

With A2SD+ you can save a lot more memory than with the stock froyo option. The stock froyo option only allows it if a developer supports it and it often moves only a part of it to sd, not the whole application. With A2SD you can also move the dalvik cache to sd or the cache partition (which uses quite a bit of memory).

For most people the froyo option will do though.

I think it's great that the update is finally around the corner but I just rooted my phone last weekend, installed a custom rom (cyanogenmod 6), and I can tell you that I definitely won't be going back to the official software. There are so many options and tweaks in it that I don't want to be without and which will never make it into the official software, ever. Almost all of the little things I wished were there in the official software are there now.

The speed-up of the phone is great btw. The desire wasn't exactly slow to begin with but with the custom froyo rom it feels like a whole new phone :). So congrats to everyone who's getting the update ;)
[Desire General] Kameo:
Can't wait to get it on my Phone
[Desire General] copex:
im going to say desire update by the 15th of august :-) ill be supprised if my phone updates to 2.2 tomorrow :-)
[Desire General] Jongo:
i have an unlocked and unbranded desire on the orange network thats the way i bought it.

If an OTA update goes out over the orange network will this mean that i will get all the orange rubbish put on my phone?

also will i have to wait longer for being on orange since they seem to add more stuff to the desire?

thanks to anyone who can answer those two questions :D

*edit im in the UK btw
[Desire General] Storbank78:
I Hope that this update will also be released i Denmark soon...:D
[Desire General] spritable:
I'm just curious how the froyo's ap2sd will work? I mean to be able to run that functionality in custom ROM based on froyo I had to format my SD card with a ext3 partition. If it is a OTA update, will it force you to format you SD or it will be able to work on fat32 partition?
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
I cannot wait to get this. :)

I waited for the official 2.2 update and never rooted, the reason being that my colleague installed various cooked 2.1 roms on his Hero and it was always sluggish and unpredicatable. I salute all you guys who adpated 2.2 onto the Desire, but it took him a while to get a Hero 2.1 rom that was reliable and fast, and even then, some issues occured. Thats what I noticed from his experience. He eventually went back to stock when the offical 2.1 for Hero came out and his phone is very fast and no issues now. So... that is why I waited. I want 2.2 on my Desire, sure, but I want it to be as good as it can possibly be. :)
[Desire General] looking-g:
It is also on the dutch hgc Twitter now haha
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Woohoo! I'm so happy! :D ... oh no.. I'm not, my Desire is out for repair again! :(

But still some good news, Mark Moons can be trusted with his tweets usually.
[Desire General] fallos:
tomorrow only for Asia, like everytime... Europe in 1-2 weeks. relax ..

And Mark wrote the same about Hero... but update we got after 2 weeks.
[Desire General] otijhuis:
Re:

@spritable, you won't need to format the sd card. For a2sd/a2sd+ you do need to have an ext3/ext4 partition but for the froyo implementation this isn't needed. It will just create an extra folder on your sd card.

@mcgon1979, I can imagine you don't want the fiddle with the custom roms. If the custom roms only contained exactly the same functionality as in the final version I wouldn't root either. I must say though that most of the custom roms out right now are very very stable. When you don't know what's possible then you don't know what you're missing either, which might be a good thing in this case :)

I'd be incredibly annoyed because I actually lose functionality instead of gain it if I go back to the official rom ;)
[Desire General] spritable:
Thanks man for clearing that out.
[Desire General] predo:
you shouldn't have said that so early - I'm sure you could make a lot more people come reading your post.... ;-)
[Desire General] Laban:
So the new release will come with a new bootloader, does anyone know (or have heard anyything) about when we can expect to have that bootloader rootable?

I don't need root now but will in thhe future be able to root my Desire, and then I want to kow that the bootloader I'm using is not preventing me from rooting.
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
Not sure about OTA update but if the RUU file gets online then that will update the bootloader.
[Desire General] peewster:
http://bit.ly/adJagS

Maybe now ? :)
[Desire General] spritable:
yeah, but like all of them I'm also waiting impatiently and didn't want to ruin their hopes.
[Desire General] Flaggie:
And I think he used a screen shot from the evo
[Desire General] Laban:
So you mean that the OTA update might not change/upgrade the bootloader, but if I download the file manually via my computer it will upgrade the bootloader?
[Desire General] DaaT:
Damn you spritable!! *shakes fist*

:D
[Desire General] bobsie41:
Can anybody answer this please?

At the moment i have RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE etc.

Will i get the first batch of ota update or should i change to ...HTC_europe?
[Desire General] spritable:
Both will be fine. If you install 1.15.405.3, then you will receive first an 1.21.405.2 OTA update. If you install 1.21.405.2, then you will be waiting for Froyo via next OTA.

PS. let's hope I'm right, cause I unrooted with 1.21.405.2 and will be kinda disappointing to not get froyo OTA with it.
[Desire General] black187:
Does anybody know what will happen to downloaded apps from the market - will there be any problems with 2.2 and apps? - If yes, I will probably wait for updated versions.
[Desire General] predo:
So if I want to flash RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe lets say on the STOCK tmobile uk rom - do I need to create gold card etc as well? Or is this just for modded roms?
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
No no need for gold card to flash RRU.
[Desire General] predo:
:cool: thanks!
[Desire General] Laban:
The update will include "The HTC Wildfire smart Caller ID feature". What does that mean?
[Desire General] rvdgeer:
Just a rumor I heard:

Last thursday's OTA update was postponed until this weekend, because the UK hasn't decided yet if they want to be part of Europe...

;)
[Desire General] aaargh777:
From the HTC-Wildfire Products-Page:
[Desire General] bobsie41:
Ha Ha. Very good!
[Desire General] spritable:
As far as I know it's an update to the contact information, so when somebody linked for example to your Facebook friends list calls you, it will show his facebook status below his facebook photo.

@aaargh777 you are faster than me... :)
[Desire General] cgorki:
I think it's just that feature that shows the connected Facebook contact and the Facebook status of the contact. (Only if you sync your FB contacts) It's in most custom Froyo roms already
[Desire General] Biffy:
Anyone know if the bluetooth stack will have been updated in this Froyo update?
[Desire General] Laban:
Aha okay. Wow... sort of... :)
[Desire General] k.aalai:
Ok, to add to the millions of possibilities out there, here is my situation:

Tmob UK desire, unlocked (by tmob code), unrooted, but running on orange UK.

Now, how does the OTA work? is it carrier specific, or does it go to some HTC website (ie are the updates all at HTC, or do the carriers send notification of their own specific updates to the phones on their network)?

Will I get the OTA notification? What will it download for me, the orange or T mob update?

And will it relock the simlock of the radio?

I dont want to unknowingly start sticking an orange update on a tmob phone, and mess everything up!

Confused........
[Desire General] bobsie41:
When does HTC's weekend begin?

Taking into account the time differences etc.

I think it is highly unlikely that they will begin the roll-out on a Sunday.
[Desire General] pickie:
Until today I had a OTA update waiting for me to download but I haven't cos its ment to break WiFi on Orange debranded phones like mine :) checked today and it says my phone is up to date ? Is this HTC preparing for froyo ?
[Desire General] rvdgeer:
I guess we should look at the Central European Summer Time (UTC+2), since this counts for most European countries...

And why not update on a sunday?

HTC supoort desk is probably closed on sunday, and by monday xda-dev should have solved most of the problems for them :)

The most used option of the phone for the next two days, represented in a loop:

while (0 < 1) {
System.push(Menu);
System.push(Settings);
System.push(About phone);
System.push(System software updates);
System.push(Check now);

PS. For a while now I was thinking what kind of app to create for Android, since all of my ideas are already created, and here is the idea for the most useless app ever - a check every 5 seconds for an OTA update. I will charge for it 1 cent and I will get rich in no time.... and will have Froyo first... and will buy The Nicks... aaand Steffi Graf... :P
[Desire General] cyron_at:

Think it looks a little bit better like this:

while (Firmware.version < 2.2) {
F5();
Thread.sleep(5000);
}

function F5() {
System.push(Menu);
System.push(Settings);
System.push(About phone);
System.push(System software updates);
System.push(Check now);
if (Firmware.version >= 2.2) {
Play.Sound(Trumpet);
Show.Image(Apple Eating Android);
}
}

[Desire General] ops1977:
Rooted Desire and OTA?

Hi, I just rooted my phone a couple of weeks ago, but I haven´t installed a new ROM - will I receive the system update OTA? Please post an answer soon, so I can find out if I need to unroot...
[Desire General] spritable:
We have to think about the future. The idea is to have an infinite loop, cause after Froyo, there is Gingerbread. Why stop after Froyo? That's why is the while(0 < 1). :)

ps. maan, this thread went waaay out of topic.
[Desire General] dome1234:
I'm guessing my desire won't be updated over the weekend, i got mine during holiday in singapore, and software number (1.19.707.7) is different from eu. Looks like i have to wait more... :(
[Desire General] rvdgeer:
Don't know for sure, but I think it's firmware version dependent...

As long as you are on 2.1 you should at least get the OTA update notification...
[Desire General] spritable:
You will receive the update. But I'm not sure if you're gonna have root afterwards.
[Desire General] ops1977:
Great, thanks a lot! I´m just starting to get to know Android and maybe I can be of help some other time;)

Just recived an email from HTC stating that at least in Norway it will come this weekend.

So hang in there people :-D
[Desire General] jason.bourne:
if you have rooted and installed a custom froyo rom, will you get the OTA update or do you need to unroot and go back to a stock rom?

Hmm here 40 mins after i recieved the email there's still nothing do download. I guess it will follow later tonight or tomorrow as the email in fact stated that it would be out, "including this weekend"

It is NOT a spoof - i actually HAVE the email in danish in my inbox from Peter Froelund, HTC Denmark.
[Desire General] steve228uk:
This update is only for unlocked/de-branded Desires so it your T-Mo Desire is a T-Mobile ROM it looks like you'll have to wait until September unless you de-brand. That will allow you to install Froyo when the OTA update comes for the rest of us. ;)
[Desire General] Gizmo5148:
I got the same mail here in sweden
[Desire General] Gizmo5148:

Well I will try it this way:

Phone is Telstra branded

Just flashed with goldcard the Stock WWE 1.21

Lost my root (witch I can live with for the weekend)

And like this I will try to get the Froyo Update

I`ll guess everybody will need to figure out his own way to get the update, and if they get it, it would be nice to share with the rest.

Come on HTC, move your b..
[Desire General] lostsoul:
Just heard from a user on tweakers.net that he got the update, and is installing it now.
[Desire General] yeahtyeaht:
wahts with root. must i unroot my desire before the update or can i remain wih my root and upgrade to the official 2.2
[Desire General] gregounech:
Hey there, I'm actually using Cyanogen Mod 6 RC1 for the Desire and i'm wondering how I can get the official 2.2 Update.

Do I need to reflash a Sense ROM to have access to HTC Sync and use an official RUU to flash my device to the official Sense ROM ?

Or am i able to flash an official ROM right from CM 6 RC1 ?

2nd question ^^ :

My phone is locked on Orange, however I have a goldcard, if I go to an official ROM, will I be able to get the update ? (I'm on French Orange, it doesn't cause simlock with news radios)
[Desire General] kuntstubble:
Jesus H Christ... I think I am about to hang myself. Which part of this OTA do people NOT get. It was quite specific information HTC gave. All I am waiting for is "Will this update work on my ZX81 with no power supply pluged in?". To me it is really becoming that moronic.

When someone either posts the OTA zip file, screen shots, or even better the direct link to the OTA on liveimage.htc.com THEN it will be worth something.

And the "I HAVE GOT IT!" boys... please... your not funny.
[Desire General] mijanous:
Why do you think that Desire has wireless N chipset ? Got some link ?
