http://htc-desire-get-froyo.u4y.eu/

Can anyone explain why this is showing an update available? If this server can reseive the update message, then it can surely obtain the link and we should be able to download the update? Haven't WHOISed it yet but guessing it's in a GER/NL IP range?

We could be VERY close to getting the link to the update patch :)
[Desire General] kristovaher:
This feels more and more like one of the latest M Night Shyamalan movies.
[Desire General] ghale:
Are you serious???

It's a fake site, with Google Analytics module, to see how many st... guys look at it!
[Desire General] Flaggie:
Also http://gizmodo.com/5600398/froyo-up...ires-will-turn-on-720p-recording-this-weekend

but of course they could just be lying ;)
[Desire General] kristovaher:
They could be lying, yes. But looking at HTC's PR history, which of the two would you trust if your life depended on it?
[Desire General] owziee:
Obviously 5 is the correct answer ;)
[Desire General] Nuntius:
I can't wait for that one!

EDIT: The Last Airbender!
[Desire General] nirave:
Ive also found that Engadget and Gizmodo have been around long enough to have the necessary inside man to get info from all the companies.

That being said, i do think its a phase out or there has been an issue from HTC's side.

Lets wait and see.
[Desire General] bedeabc:
You could well be right, though it was showing no update available last night. I'd install GA code if I was putting a temporary high demand page like that up...
[Desire General] jobalz:
http://htc-desire-get-froyo.u4y.eu/

it's a german ip
[Desire General] steve228uk:
I'd shove ads on it too.
[Desire General] knudsen81:
now it shows no update hmm
[Desire General] zipr0:
I personally think this is an issue with Google. I'm not sure if HTC even runs their own update servers. When Motorola rolled out the 2.1 update for the Milestone, everything went through Google - and it took almost a month until everyone got the update. Google has to approve all the updates first - and I have the strong feeling nobody's working at Mountain View today.
[Desire General] adesonic:
that site comes back as no update available when i look
[Desire General] antu_pogroms:
one question. do i need to clear my sd card so that the update can be download? my desire memory is almost full internal and sd card.
[Desire General] /rant/:
wtf, something's going on for sure xD
[Desire General] jobalz:
http://www.androidhandys.com/2010/0...es-htc-desire-einige-haben-schon-android-2-2/

this article from today says that some germans and austrians already got froyo!!

translation:

Desire first owners in Germany and Austria have received the update, others are still waiting, since HTC is not the update-server load reasons, to deliver simultaneously to all customers.
[Desire General] Stavut:
Purely speculation but given the new light on the Android vulnerability shown at the Def Con ( can't post the link since my account has yet to be verified it says) maybe Google/HTC put the update on hold while they're updating it with some security measures (if possible) in order to get a "full" update out, rather than an insecure one that may be open for misuse by malicious apps.

Or ! HTC living up to its Hero day history hehe...
[Desire General] extreme22:
ahh thats a bull**** made up website by some dumb ass who thinks he is funny
[Desire General] steve228uk:
I get update available from that site on my phone and no update on my computer. Hm...
[Desire General] Stromma:
As a new member I'm prevented from posting outside links...

Swedish HTC Partner site announcement:

hxxp://xxx.htcpartner.se/default.asp?frontNav=1&frontID=10&frontModuleType=2&moduleStep=1&newsID=350

Or Google this line and follow the searchresult "htceclub" to visit the Swedish HTC Partner site:

"30-07-10 Programuppdatering: Android 2.2 för HTC Desire"

The announcement translated with Google:

/Stromma
[Desire General] martintzvetomirov:
Yep, the website is again showing that there's no update. I would say that this website is fake and the guy behind it just writes stuff by sniffing twitter and fb. I highly doubt that it sends any requests to the htc servers to check for updates.
[Desire General] crascott:
Reuters reports, "Software released for attacking Android phones"

hxxp://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKTRE66T52O20100730 (New member - edit link)

Could this be the culprit?
[Desire General] Myth73:
I don't think it's a hoax, because in Denmark there is a statement on the official HTC reseller site:

htcpartner.dk/default.asp?language=1 (insert www before - i'm a new user)

Which is the message about roll out starting this weekend, but with the keyword beeing "start"

Also a bunch og people on Danish forums have recieved e-mails about the update from the HTC e-club telling them, that the wait is over and the update is on the way.

So there are official HTC sites and mails confirming that they will start this weekend - but no one has promised that everyone will recieve an update this weekend though..
[Desire General] steve228uk:
I just found this site that seems to check in the same way:

http://intranet.nptohc.co.uk/wkd2639/ota/index.php
[Desire General] Stavut:
But considering that the email is the same from the european htc-club for all those countries who received it where only the translation to each respective language differs, what if thats actually the culprit? given that HTC has no direct press release on the matter, and the only "proof" of the update is based on the HTC-club mail/notification.

Too many what if's now hehe, maybe the Froyo update will be the new nancy drew case.
[Desire General] martintzvetomirov:
At least HTC should have tweeted that they plan to suspend the deployment. I hope they don't...
[Desire General] kristovaher:
What is ironic about that is that the wait is worse now, than it would be without that notification e-mail :D
[Desire General] doinbox:
I know how you can get froyo.

With a hot tub time machine. ;-)
[Desire General] Myth73:
Another official HTC statement:

hxxp://htceclub.dk/default.asp?frontNav=2&frontID=43&frontModuleType=2&moduleStep=1&newsID=51 (replace hxxp with http)
[Desire General] lostsoul:
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Oh man, that was funny

http://htceclub.dk/default.asp?frontNav=2&frontID=43&frontModuleType=2&moduleStep=1&newsID=51
[Desire General] sharpey:
just looked at the HTC UK facebook page and they are posting this - "We're still expecting the update to start rolling out this weekend and I'll let you know if there's any change to that."
[Desire General] febelus:
Italiana HTC official page ask for update too.
[Desire General] nirave:
So it looks like its officcial then.

Now the real waiting starts for uk users lol
[Desire General] Stavut:
European Froyo tensions and anticipations have spread from Netherlands, to Norway then Finland, then Germany and now the UK! Wonder when we Danes get to be on the spotlight :P
[Desire General] martintzvetomirov:
All these official promises and I'm yet to hear about the fist person that successfully got Froyo :/
[Desire General] nirave:
Lol eventually don't worry lol. Im hoping HTC can do what Apple do and just release it for all european simfree desires on time as in this weekend!

[Desire General] aalviedo:
I'm rooted and updated to Official Froyo Sense ROM (Opendesire team). When I check for update it said "Your phone is up to date" Lolz. I thnk I need to downgrade the rom to 2.1 eclair to get the official.. But I guess I'll just have to wait for the one coming from the dev's official froyo update.

- From Saudi Arabia ;D

[Desire General] mcgon1979:
haha... exactly. who cares! :D:D No way anyone will see "update available, download and install now?" and decide to wait. NO WAY :D:D
[Desire General] LubbertKramer:
I mean the first Desire's that are released, the hardware number, hope that the Desire's sold first will get the update first instead of random update on the Desire's
[Desire General] antz88c:
But mine is not rooted, I only removed few stock apks using dxixda kitchen. Anyway, will flash to stock ROM if you guys get 2.2 via OTA.
[Desire General] spritable:
The irony here is that yesterday I spend 3 hours rooting my phone, installing custom froyo ROM, fiddling with it for about 2 hours and then going back to stock 2.1 unrooted. I was waiting for the update for a month or so and I got inpatient.

Now the waiting continues...
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
I'll wait.... NOT :D
[Desire General] peewster:
Well maybe it's better to wait until somebody downloaded the update, rooted it and release it over here at xda :)
[Desire General] jjplayground:
Yes it will
[Desire General] sr1ks:
Nothing in the UK yet,

i doubt if the service providers might take sometime before releasing it, as T-Mobile UK puts a Tiny w'n'w symbol on the Desire...
[Desire General] febelus:
yesterday i spent hour to root my device and install custom rom, yesterda night i see froy ota update for today...so unroot and downgrade my phone...if today htc does not release froy i go crazy!!!!
[Desire General] foxmeister:
NO WAY? Really? I can tell you for certain that I won't be installing any OTA update that my phone offers up to me! ;)

What I will be doing is waiting for a ROM cooker to repack the update as a pre-rooted update.zip and applying it manually. You can be sure that this will be posted up within a couple of hours of the OTA rolling out.

Anyone who applies the update OTA should be aware that it is possible that HTC have closed the doors that allow the current rooting methods to work, and may end up with an unrootable device (at least for the time being).

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] LuCkYaN:
Nothing in Romania untill now :) Still waiting...
[Desire General] XDA mark:
Popped in my Dutch SIM card to check but nothing :(...

Bleh, I hate waiting.
[Desire General] MaTiCeK-:
There's still no news of updates hitting Desires on twitter. And if it ain't on twitter it ain't happening :)

Also I'm certain ona has to have an unrooted Desire with the latest stock ROM to even get the update promt.
[Desire General] cyron_at:
what makes you so sure?
[Desire General] Geeba:
UK - nothing.

When I asked HTC a couple of weeks back they said nearer the end of the year to me.... :confused:

Definitely not holding my breath on this....:rolleyes:
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Aha, as everyone here ;)
[Desire General] mortuus82:
Damn holland why should they get first ? not fair..:mad:
[Desire General] eddaredevil:
Nothing here yet! (Holland)
[Desire General] XDA mark:
Because we are better then the rest of the world! Muahaha

Btw, I cant understand how people still doubt todays froyo update.. HTC ITSELF IS THE SOURCE :l
[Desire General] madmac123:
"Hallo liebe Fans, leider können wir den Twitter von HTC-Holland nicht bestätigen. Wir können nur sagen, wir sind nah dran, aber eben noch nicht fertig mit dem Froyo-Release für Desire."

Means only user in Holland get the 2.2 update today and HTC Germany is working on it, but not ready now. :(

But it could not last for long... one post later they said that they are working on the update and are short before release.
[Desire General] al89nut:
So after the download - it is only one download isn't it - what do I do? Re-boot? It isn't offering me any options.
[Desire General] spritable:
I just saw that the update is availablr. I heading to a location with a wifi..90 MBs
[Desire General] Ksncalver:
Be honest the htc server is now gonna get F**ked by all of us downloadin it, so its gonna be slow,

Time to sit back and watch the F1. While it comes to me. Bring on the Froyo
[Desire General] wiggy2k:
About to install now, download is complete. First thing i'll do after installing: checking HBOOT and posting the version here.

Lets hope that we wont have a nearly "unrootable" phone now.

I would like to see the traffic spike due this update..90 mg per android device it's quite alot of data to send.
[Desire General] aalviedo:
Yeah but I want to get the modified version of Official Froyo from the dev's. I read that the update might change the bootloader and you cannot root the phone until someone figures it out and that could take some time. So I can wait... I'm just happy you guys are getting it! Cheers to all of us! Woohhhoo!
[Desire General] bandit_knight:
