?? My upgrade install required a reboot
[Desire General] chichoko:
Doing the update myself now.. Couldnt wait any longer! Will post results..

Stage: D/L Complete

Stage: Update.. Complete

Stage: First Boot... :) "Gratz ur phone is updated..." and now shows a percentage.. Maybe installing the apps or something.. Complete!

Stage: Fully booted... Now testing "Navigation".. and all the other new apps! Will post feedback...

Navigation: Couldnt get a sat lock inside my house nor outside on my balcony.. Its a heavy building area where I live so I need to go outside to check it... Google Maps, Sense Weather and Navigation couldnt get my location right...

Flash Light: Working as intended.. Nothing special :)

App Share: I do not have another Android phone so I cannot test it now... :/

Voice Search: Working as a charm... Although in a quiet environment.. It search for everything.. web-pages.. contacts.. I couldnt make it search the installed apps though.. I suppose thats not possible..

App2SD: The apps that supported the feature were moved without any issues :)

Embeded Flash 10.1: Is smooth like a knife cutting through butter!!! I didnt expect that and I really like it...

Linpack results: ~25 with first run.. ~38 with second.. On 2.1 i had like... ~8-9!!!

Android Market: Working all good.. No updates yet to check the "Update All" function..

Like the new messaging box.. Its more sleek and reminds me of the Sense UI on my Xperia :p

Final verdict: While I couldnt get a GPS lock anywhere in my house (and thats obvious...) the overall performance of FroYo is really good. Everything works as intended and for the one hour or so I havent found any bugs whatsoever... Totally worth the wait and Im glad I chose it over the iPhone ;)

All aboard the FroYo train!!!

[Desire General] Pnaky:
Hey guys,

does anybody know how clearly install Froyo to Desire (unrooted, unbranded) without using OTA? I downloaded 90MB .zip file to notebook and I would like install update from ntb. My mobile internet has strictly download quota and I don't have some WiFi for direct download...

Thank you...
[Desire General] gadgetuk99:
Done mine all works fine inc camera and movie
[Desire General] refnulf:
Guys, apologies for the noob question:

I have a rooted, unbranded HTC Desire and I'm currently downloading the update OTA. Will I be able to install it? And if not, is there a danger of it bricking my phone (my radio is not up to date). So, should I cancel the downloaded in order to prevent it from installing?
[Desire General] jpxdude:
You can't install if you are rooted, recovery protection interferes with the update :-/
[Desire General] bsousapt:

What link did you download the update file from?
[Desire General] dabide:
Uninstalling "Led Light" app did the trick

Thanks! :-) (There's a flash light app from HTC in 2.2 anyway)

[Desire General] bunka77:
its out :) 90MB :p
[Desire General] DaaT:
Ok, so I copied the zip file to the root of the SD card (renaming it to update) and switch on the phone while pressing Volume Down. I can then go down the list to Recovery and press Power to chose it. But after that I only get a red triangle and no matter which button I press (even trackpad) I can't get an option to "update from SD card". What am I doing wrong?

Thanks :)

Nevermind, found it :) Updating.......

[Desire General] Fred Newman:
Well installing appears to wipe all of your txt messages on the phone ah well suppose i had to lose them some time.

They have appeared not sure what happened to them but they did appear so all went smoothly ( i have edited the original post in case someone is trawling through and decides not to update).

[Desire General] TheDeadCPU:
You're wondering where the .apk is?
[Desire General] hackm0d:
Have you checked whether that is the AMR or AAC codec for audio?

Use something like Media-Info.
[Desire General] actthafool:
Update has screwed up my desire. Its continuously rebooting and i get an error Process system is not responding, force close or wait. Any ideas guys?
[Desire General] kwikdahl:
If it's still AMR-codec it's useless... **** all over....
[Desire General] chichoko:
Holy crap!!:eek:

As for the flash light app.. its in the apps menu.. just look carefully :)
[Desire General] Denisoftus:

Audio is 12.8 kbps, 8'000Hz, 13 bits, AMR(Narrow band)
[Desire General] tuatha:
Already pointed it out in the other thread, but there's no way that's 50fps, buddy!

You're averaging about 20, from the looks of it.

edit: wow, I was close. 21.6fps.

so do i wait for the update automatically or install it from sd card?? any suggestion?
[Desire General] alien_jiggy:
why is it am not getting update on my desire?
[Desire General] Marcovanbasten:
Because you have a branded desire ?
[Desire General] Hoggs:
Getting this too... help?

another q. : how come i can't move most my apps on my SD?
[Desire General] Geezay:
HELP!

How to install the update on my Desire if I have downloaded the file from the provided link on h**p://liveimage.htc.com/***?

Desperate...

Someone mentioned renaming the file to Update something and then???
[Desire General] code72:
i'm still on 1.15, and when i check updates it show me 1.21;

do you think i can jump directly to Froyo or, if i don't update to 1.21, it doesn't show me froyo update?
[Desire General] ingFu:
I had the same issue. So flashed via RUU the old version.

Now upgrading with a goldcard.
[Desire General] Popple3:
Now to figure out how to get a stock keyboard on this... The previous method (that I know of) won't work because this has Voice Search, and it can't be installed over.

Anyone have any ideas? Don't like the HTC keyboard, and any others I just find a bit... meh
[Desire General] dingdong3000:
once you rename it to update.zip, go to recovery mode and it will install i think...
[Desire General] actthafool:
Can anyone help me, getting worried now, havent had a successful reboot. I have a debranded T-mobile Desire. I was runnining 1.21.405.2 Radio 32.36.00.28U 4.06.00.02 2 release 126984 signed before the update.
[Desire General] chichoko:
I think the app itself must support that feature.. So you will have to wait till the developers update it to be fully compatible with FroYo :)
[Desire General] al89nut:
Apps have to be written to allow it - most aren't (yet)
[Desire General] TheDeadCPU:
You can't use that... You need to get it via your phone or wait for a RUU.
[Desire General] Hoggs:
Maybe we should flash back to 2.1 and try again?

Getting the same problem.. Going to try this if no one has a better idea

[Desire General] green skull:
How did you do this? And can you do it on a branded phone?

Thanks (im clueless in these matters)
[Desire General] Geezay:
Thanks for that quick reply. Am a bit of an Android noob, but how do I get to Recovery mode? and what to do from there? Remember, serious Android noob here...
[Desire General] pablo_max:
WTF??

How can it be that I am in Germany, I have a German Desire, unlocked, no branding and never rooted, yet somehow, I can't get the F'ing update???

Are there any others who should get it, but dont?
[Desire General] actthafool:
Ive just done that, its working fine again now on 2.1
[Desire General] kristovaher:
Update went smooth and everything seems to be working as expected, I am already whoring my Desire to download updates through WiFi hotspot to my laptop :)

Glad to be up to date and thanks all of you who were such an entertainment for the duration of the painful wait :)
[Desire General] ingFu:
For those of you having a debranded device: Must use goldcard.

If you upgraded without a goldcard: reflash 2.1 via RUU, insert/make goldcard and update. Worked fine with me,
[Desire General] Hoggs:
Ah thank god, will try now thanks :)

Does some one know, if we have to use our Goldcard, which we used to debrand our phones, to install the update?

Sorry Ingfu you were faster in posting. Thanks for the tip.
[Desire General] pablo_max:

[Desire General] jisin:

You do not need to go back to go forward here.

**IF YOU ARE DEBRANDED AND HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE OTA UPDATE JUST RUN UPDATE.ZIP TO BOOTLOADER WITH GOLDCARD INSERTED - DO NOT REGRESS TO FULL 2.1 RUU OR YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR SETTINGS ETC**
[Desire General] Hoggs:
welp, too late. :eek:

On that note: If you -are- updating on a phone you debranded with a goldcard, INSERT IT BEFORE UPDATING!
[Desire General] solosius:
Goldcard insert?.what is the mean?

[Desire General] actthafool:
I second this :D
[Desire General] DaaT:
To go into recovery switch off the phone. With it off, press (and hold) the Volume Down button. Press once Power to switch it on. A menu appears, use Volume Down (or Up) to select Recovery (the 2nd option I believe) and press Power to chose it. The phone will then go into a black screen with a red triangle and an exclamation mark inside the triangle.

Now, press (and hold) the Volume UP button and while still holding it press Power once. In a second or two another small menu at the top of the screen appears. Use Volume Down to select "apply update from SD card" (or something similar). Press Power to select it and now let it update.

Hope this helps. Good luck :)

P.S.: This worked on my unbranded/unlocked (bought that way) phone, don't know about de-branded phones, sorry.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
They are probably the ones who have been hammering update now though all weekend too :)

Good things come to those who wait :) I'm happy - though I hit the check for updates button so many times yesterday, and then today, I checked it when I got up - and once when I was about to head out - typical - its like when you've lost something, you stop looking for it and it appears!
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
Finally! Now it is available in Sweden too.. (besides branded for 3 :) happy happy
[Desire General] Stromma:
Nothing important, just the "backup" options :mad:
[Desire General] vanders7:
Froyo shows such a noticable diffrence in speed and overall performance to the Desire.

This update has finally fixed the lip sync issues that I had in all my video's, whoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Well worth the wait
[Desire General] JonathanEx:
So, as I'm an idiot and just want to check - if I have a branded T-mobile UK phone, I should debrand it using a goldcard, and then check for updates, but make sure my goldcard is still in the phone when I do that?
[Desire General] Pnaky:
DaaT: Thank you for your tutorial - its working fine on unbranded/unrooted device...

i've tried to install from the sd card.. it shows an error saying "status 7" or somthing.. i guess i'll wait for the update via phone... sad.. :(
[Desire General] Hoggs:
Correct :)

I've just done this, all appears to be working!
[Desire General] green skull:
Thanks for the info.

I was able to do what you suggested, but then it aborted when checking the update.zip for the some reason.

Mine is branded by Virgin mobile, and from what ive quickly read will not be getting any updates due to an agreement with HTC.

This may have something to do with it.

when i get a spare day to look into, i think i will do the rooting thing

Thanks again though.

[Desire General] chris7494:
Bring on the Desire vs iPhone tests now then huh, the browser was slightly quicker on the desire before the update, now its like lightning!

Only thing I can say about this update is WOW, everything is so much quicker even though it wasnt slow before, the HD Camcorder app is fantastic, wifi tethering is amazing, the extra free space is really helpful and the A2SD works perfectly.

Incidently, it seems if you do a hard reset after the install and then reinstall the same apps again, you have much more free space, is this due to some of the apps we have added ourselves (google voice etc) already being included in the ROM? Im not really sure but I gained 20MB of space on my phone from the hard reset!

A big thanks to HTC, well worth the wait and sorry for doubting the update would appear this weekend!
[Desire General] pablo_max:
Which file did you download????

[Desire General] keramidas:
just my $0.02

i had unlocked desire, rooted with unrevoked3 but with official 2.1 rom.

downloaded the update, but could not update, the phone stuck at recovery screen (recoverymod 2.5.0.1 which was installed with latest unrevoked).

i downloaded the ota.zip from the link posted here, renamed it to update.zip, moved it to root of sdcard, booted to recovery and selected update from there.

update was confirmed, my version now is 2.2.

now the weird things.

a) i can no longer boot into recovery. if i try to i have the red triangle, no more recovery, as if it was erased.

b) BUT it appears i am still rooted .. i can run the overclock widget, and superuser permissions...

how's that for a joke ?:P
[Desire General] yeahtyeaht:
be happy. i cant go into recovery modus and i cant install any apps form the market.
[Desire General] chris7494:
Anyone got raging thunder 2 game? It used to take a few seconds to load on 2.1 and was always a tiny bit jumpy when there was a lot on screen, now, its like playing on an xbox, no jumping at all and loaded instantly. This froyo update is fantastic, bringing android to the gaming community (not me btw, i just like the odd game to pass the time).

Anyone found anythiing else that wasnt expected? Im really surprised how good this update is, absolutely amazing!

Funny thing I've got one protected app that I installed before the update and it works properly. (Marine compass).

My desire is also Virgin Mobile Debranded I can confirm the SD Card method does work however you have to debrand to WWE 1.21.405.2.

If your on 1.15.405.4 you will get a "Status 7" error.

I have no damn idea why i dont get this update.

Im factory unbranded, factory unlocked in Germany with a Germany desire, but every ****ing time....your phone is up to date. F-U phone, I know it's not up to date! :)

Seriously, people are asking and asking how to manually apply this update, but no one is willing to help out.

Anyhow have any ideas??

Anyone on UK with OTA update?

[Desire General] AdamZA:
Guys, i'm not an Android newbie but never flashed ROM's etc - could I have a bit of help pls?

I've got a Vodafone ROM, going to debrand my Desire, using a Goldcard and then install the generic 2.1 sense ROM and then request OTA update. Got that whole process figured out etc

What I want to do is backup everything first. I'm not rooted and i'm going to use the 30 day trial of mybackup to backup data. I want to backup my apps too if possible - am i right in thinking Astro have a program to go this?

Will it all be fine to do backups to my SD first, create a goldcard on another SD, flash the other sense ROM, then update to froyo and then finally take out the goldcard, put the other SD back in and restore everything?

Any help would be appreciated pls!
