I cancelled at the first step only, that is, when the message "there is an update, would you like me to go ahead" popped up, I pressed "Go back". It would be weird if this had been my only official chance to upgrade, especially cause it suggested I should be on Wifi and AC Power. Surely there must be more. Well, doesn't matter, I will root anyway, unless there is a major bug that made HTC withdraw the upgrade!
[Desire General] Jules1974:
Pulled update

Wow, im really glad i found this thread. Im new to debranding at it all appeared to go well until i couldnt get the update.

I used this update

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U _4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed

I trust this was a valid rom to go to froyo until htc pulled things?.

Cheers

Same here in Slovenia.
[Desire General] berre:
Same here in belgium !! Tried yesterday and it was available but I didn't do it because it was getting late... this morning no update available anymore... glad it's not just me!
[Desire General] malvern_man:
I also manually checked and got the update on Sunday but decided not to install until I'd had a read of the forum to see if there were any major problems.

I decided to install the update today but now when I do a manual check it says that my software is up to date.

Will I ever get the 2.2 update now?
[Desire General] pkallasidis:
No update for me. Unbranded Vodafone connection in Cyprus. Anybody knows what is going on?
[Desire General] :
i got this ftom HTC regarding some other issues so they might be pulling the OTA until they fix it.
[Desire General] joshptyltd:
I installed it manually, and it worked fine! I hope HTC is working on a new update to fix all the small niggles, and that that update will actually be available OTA!
[Desire General] chappers-UK:
Its still available on the htc website, and has been all week.

Update – HTC Desire Android 2.2 Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) update

You can now download the latest software update for new features and improved performance. It won’t delete any of your content and we’d recommend using a Wi-Fi connection as this is a large update. If not, standard data connection charges may apply. Any questions? Contact us via www.htc.com. After installing the update, you can confirm a successful update by confirming the Firmware version (From the Home Screen go to MENU> Settings> About Phone> Firmware version). The new Firmware version will be 2.2.

Update Information: Android 2.2 and HTC Sense update

Note: We still recommend you back up your all personal data first.
[Desire General] chappers-UK:
Sorry to quote myself, however upon checking the link it just goes around in circles!!!!

[Desire General] nasimdejai:
how do i go about installing the update manually?I'm on 3UK and I've just received my unbranded and unlocked HTC desire this afternoon and discovered I couldnt't upgrade to froyo as well.I kept getting the same message that my device is up to date each time i tried to upgrade via wi-fi or 3G.It's not rooted yet and i want to avoid messing up the device doing the root method.
[Desire General] aindow:
I find it strange how some have serious problems and others have none at all. I upgraded on sunday with my gold card in the phone and it worked fine for my Orange debranded Desire.
[Desire General] al89nut:
Ditto. I presume there are issues with apps causing incompatabilities.
[Desire General] scorror:
I just downloaded through the link given by usb2007 but I'm using a branded O2 and unlocked HTC desire. Pls could someone tell me what next to do ' cos I'm coming from a Windows mobile phone environment. Thanks in advance.
[Desire General] fritter:
How on earth does that prove anything? The update service is totally separate from the download link - it deals with telling your phone when to check back for updates and ensures only specific devices actually hit the download link to distribute the load.
[Desire General] goofy584:
OTA 2.2 FR

No update for french Desire :(

When I try to open the support site on HTC.com france for the Desire I get "page not available" and the direct download link for the file is broken!

I think they are debugging the OTA :rolleyes:

Strange :confused:

[Desire General] auto1646:
If you dismissed the notification you will have to wait 14 days for another notification according to the HTC website:

"Customers who dismiss the notification inadvertently or wish to download the update manually can also check for updates by going to Settings>About Phone>System software updates>Check now. Otherwise they will have to wait 14 days before another notification is sent to the device."

I haven't got the notification and like others keep getting told no update available when trying manually... I guess I keep waiting.
[Desire General] mithrandi:
This link is a 404 for me now. So... still alive :P
[Desire General] nasimdejai:
Just called HTC technical support concerning the "the no update issue from:Settings>About Phone>System software updates>Check now" and was told the update did not get pulled and they've not been aware of any issues with the firmware.I also found out that it depends of the IMEI number on each device i.e. each device update is sent according to this number and it might take longer for others to get the update.Was told mine might take further two weeks.That sucks!!
[Desire General] nasimdejai:
How do i install this update and do i need to root my device in order to do this?Thanks
[Desire General] kmetek:
this pulling out really SUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nasim: no you don't need it's quite simple.

going to try it now :o

keep you informed :)
[Desire General] MojUk:
The update process is still detailed on the HTC site....seems odd that they would pull the update and leave this in place??
[Desire General] Tillus:
if htc pulled it, they probably did have a reason for that, don't you think? I would wait and see, what happens in the next couple of days.
[Desire General] goofy584:

download the update from the above URL (replace hxxp with http)..this is the official update and has NOT been pulled

rename this file to update.zip and copy on your sdcard root..then boot into recovery and use update.zip to update your HTC
[Desire General] g1nu:
Are you sure? No need root?

I have official 1.21...Can i apply the official ota with this method?

Thanks :)

[Desire General] brummiesteven:
I dunno if this is relevant but this is a Direct Message I got from TMobileUKHelp on twitter about a week ago:

At first I thought it was utter crap but if Updates have stopped it could be possible they only intended to update X amount of devices (I'm guessing more than 500) on a first come first serve basis as a test.
[Desire General] milkpowder:
Probably not. The first is a 90MB download, the second 27MB.:confused:
[Desire General] Fletch79:
I'm pretty sure I still have the update on my SD card as I did my manually ... I'll stick it up the morn
[Desire General] mithrandi:
The file that was distributed by HTC has an sha1sum of "1d932e7e49c8676033aaa9ecb4b31e8cc845491c". if anyone wants to verify a copy they downloaded from elsewhere.
[Desire General] milkpowder:
Thanks. I'll wait then :)

check sum of first link matches.
[Desire General] djston:
worked for me! ...phew

I thought I would report my success :) I've been through a lot of troubles with the OTA update when it originally came out. My Desire is unbranded and unlocked.

When the OTA first came out, I got stuck with the boot loop problem so I created a gold card and went back to the 2.1-update1 firmware.

I've been very hesitant with updating since and I declined the OTA when I first did a manual check for updates. When I do a manual check now, it says what a lot of people here are experiencing, no update available.

I downloaded the update found above, named:

OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip

and renamed to update.zip. I copied this over to my gold card and ran the recovery...it worked!!

Not too sure if the gold card matters but I wanted to make sure I did leave anything to chance ;)
[Desire General] milkpowder:
Installing as we speak. Followed instructions here from geekword and used the firmware from the first link (see post #43). I put the firmware on the GoldCard used to de-brand my Vodafone-ROM'ed phone. So far so good.

EDIT: Flawless update, apart from the known problem of free Android Marketplace apps downloaded previously not showing under "Downloads" (easily fixed by installing and reinstalling any app).
[Desire General] azzerc:
Hi guys,

Just a quick question, I am am looking to update to 2.2 follwoing the method described above (and I am a relatively new to the desire) and I have come from a unlocked o2 branded handset to an unbranded 2.1 (following this hxxp://androidforums.com/htc-desire/140645-guide-how-i-debranded-my-vodafone-desire-get-2-2-quicker.html) Now my question is if I have formatted my goldcard from within the phone is it still a gold card and also, do i need a goldcard for the method described above?

thanks.

[Desire General] mcgon1979:
I am using stock unlocked phone brought in UK. Got update no problem on the day it launched. Wifi still seems fine (very good wifi signal after update too).

GPS works, BUT..... I did notice it is NOTICEABLY slower to get a lock. It used to lock onto location in 10 seconds or less using my "GPS Status" App. Now it takes 30 seconds or more to find 4 or 5 satellites to get a lock. So something has changed here. I would not be surprised if HTC want to take a week and sort out some of the bigger issues we have all found in the past week and posted online or to HTC support.

I would also imagine they may have a smaller "update" for those who already updated to 2.2 to fix some issues.
[Desire General] Fletch79:
If the checksum comes back ok, there is no point me uploading mine

If that link dies later let me know and i'll upload what i have here

I'll keep an eye on this post

I've had no issues with Wifi (a better signal i think) or GPS

Battery life is about a bad as it always was .. but that's why i have 2 batteries and a battery charger ....

The only thing that happened with me was sometimes the screen wouldn't time out and i'd find it lying with the screen lit up on full power .. which kinda killed my battery a few times. Did a clear storage and it seems to have been ok since then

PS at least HTC are not doing what Apple has done to the 3g owners and continuing allowing people to update with software (iOS4) that basically makes there phones stop!

ok for me! :D

Thomas
[Desire General] azzerc:
Anybody? please....
[Desire General] freestyleHTC:
i have a sim free htc desire.

still no update. even checked manually in settings - check for updates

has it been pulled then? or does it roll it slowly?
[Desire General] milkpowder:
Yeah idle battery life seems to be massively improved!

azzerc, I think you have to make a new GoldCard if you've already formatted it. I seem to remember reading instructions somewhere which say that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[Desire General] undertheeagle:
I tried with a goldcard, to update to 2.2, on an debranded Vodafone desire, had to revert back to 2.1 as had reboot issue etc, so not so keen to give it another go.

If you want to go to 2.2, one thing I suggest that you check your radio is at least v5 as any version prior causes reboot issue.
[Desire General] prstephens:
I installed the 2.2 OTA update manually from link in previous post.. installed fine but kept rebooting and no GSM service or network.

im on o2 and de branded to 1.21 stock rom (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe)

how do I get latest radio version v5??
[Desire General] Jaa-Yoo:
I see lots of people saying they saw the update available but decided to wait. Im guessing that not many people know that you can download but choose not to install right away. This is what i did.

I downloaded the update (on sunday) and when the download completed it asked if i wanted to go ahead with the install, i clicked no as i needed my phone to be available for a while. It told me to do a manual check for updates when i was ready to install it. When i was ready, i did a manual check and was immediately presented again with the choice to upgrade or not. I chose yes and the upgrade went smoothly.

So for future updates, i guess this would be a solution to the update being available then disappearing later.

A question on this though: Is the update triggered from a notice from the server, or does the phone know that the data has already been downloaded and stored, and skips any server checks and goes straight to the upgrade file? Hmmmm
[Desire General] Futurian:
I had a very similar experience.. Seems to me that the usage of a GoldCard is very relevant.
[Desire General] undertheeagle:
you will need to root your device, hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=687464, has a v5 available, with instructions (32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20). You will have to root to update the radio though. I am still contemplating whether or not to do this.
[Desire General] awf:
After OTA 2.2. all works just fine GPS / WiFi :-)
[Desire General] slowie66:
Thanks to all the posters I have upgraded successfully to 2.2 on debranded voda. Works a treat
[Desire General] ap27:
Upgraded to 2.2 on my Telstra A8183 Desire. Had to flash a 1.21 WWE ROM first w/ goldcard. No problems so far. :)
[Desire General] -A-P-M-:
I have unbranded HTC Desire, never rooted, bought in Europe and I still don't have Froyo update available... does anyone know why ? People who bought Desire at a same carrier as I did (simfree, unlocked) already got Froyo on their phones...
[Desire General] saahild:
Not sure if people have noticed but the official HTC download link is back on :S
[Desire General] nasimdejai:
The HTC site?
[Desire General] undertheeagle:
Yeah, the same one as before, it appeared to be down (error 404). But now it works :o
[Desire General] saahild:
That's the 1. Surprised me a bit as I half heartidley clicked on it and it just worked.
[Desire General] manikma:
Dear all,

I have read around in this and other forums that some people can't find the OTA Froyo zip file for a manual update.

So, here is another link for the download and another one for the instructions on how to install it.

They have both worked fine for me.

Enjoy the experience......

[Desire General] friedit:
I couldn't wait any longer so I used the manual update method and it worked like a charme :)
[Desire General] -A-P-M-:
Thanx, if my Desire won't get update today, I will use this method.

Just a question, do I need to format MicroSD before I install update.zip on it? Or can I install update.zip from a MicroSD on which are saved also other files?

And second question, which countries are listed in this SW (menu -> Language & keyboard ?)

Thanx
[Desire General] LincsLad:
No need to format the MicroSD, but make sure there is at least 25MB of free space available. Place the update.zip in the root directory of the card.

Languages listed on mine are English, French, Italian and Espanol.

Thanks to the advice above, I went the manual route earlier today (Unlocked/unbranded Desire, unrooted, UK based). Took about 15 minutes or so and worked like a charm. :)
[Desire General] PianoSam:
I have pulled down this file and stored the zip on my sd card in the root. When I selected it using the recovery mode set up by Unrevoke 3 to install as I did for my previous 2.2 froyo zip file the installation started and then immediatley aborted stating the error number 7.

Anyone any ideas?

All the best,

Sam.
[Desire General] -A-P-M-:
Thanx, tommorow I will update my Desire with this method. :cool:
[Desire General] manikma:
Hi Sam,

Actually have no clue what error 7 is....however, during my installation it aborted once cause the phone needs at least 25MB of free space to run the process.

So, go try check your PHONE quota, uninstall the most unused apps, and try again.

Hope this helps.
[Desire General] KrewCial:
Has it been confirmed that HTC pulled the update? I myself would rather wait and get it OTA than installing it manually (if only for the sake of peace of mind). I've mailed HTC about this, however it will probably not be replied to in the coming 2 weeks. :P
[Desire General] gaasedal:
Froyo 2.2 update

Mine was good before, but is now quicker and nicer :)
[Desire General] feroz2u:
desire 2.2 update

i hv T-mobile Uk unlock desire i m in Qatar..can u pls tell me why i did not get 2.2 update.
[Desire General] Vorbeth:
Because you have a T-Mobile desire.
[Desire General] nasimdejai:
i've just rooted my unbranded,unlocked htc desire and was wondering if i could still install the official froyo update from HTC and if not,what steps do i need to install the most stable custom 2.2 ROM(s)?
[Desire General] kmetek:
nope you can't update official HTC FROYO on rooted, use some of rom's.
[Desire General] nasimdejai:
even doing it manually but renaming the OTA file to update.zip and putting it on SDcard?
[Desire General] Owendavies:
Hi all,

I bought myself a brand new unbranded/unlocked Desire today from CPW and have many times clicked the check for update, but it says it is up to date. Its definitely 2.1 update 1 tho, so should be ready for it. Is there anything I need to do to get it OTA or do I need to be more patient? :)

Thanks.
[Desire General] jacmeister:
try updating over wifi, that seems to have worked for some people.
[Desire General] knudsen81:
no there is not, but htc server is overloaded, you can download the ota and update the phone by you self.....

get ota here http://db.tt/AIzhEO
[Desire General] Bashar .:
wifi did not work for me and downloading the rom and renaming it to update.zip on the sdcard and rebooting todo the installation via recover gives signature validation error

what todo ? :(
[Desire General] Fletch79:
are you sure it's an unbranded phone?
[Desire General] KrewCial:
It's not working over Wi-Fi for me either. Most people having trouble getting the update are the ones who have declined it once (due to low battery, no Wi-Fi nearby etc.). Maybe those phones don't check for the 2.2 update anymore, so could a hard reset have any effect?
[Desire General] art3s:
just manually checked and it found the update. downloading now :D
[Desire General] froggy7:
yepp, just now it re-appeared for me too. Show's the same version as before (2.09.405.8)
[Desire General] raymcdpl:
The update probably isn't pulled

I just got it OTA... I had a manual update that failed because I didn't have 25mb free on the device. I actually only had 2mb free on the SD card as well. After removing some videos I copied update.zip to my phone and tried to update manually. This failed because I only had 21mb free on the device itself. after I uninstalled some apps I did a quick manual check for updates and it downloaded the whole 90mb OTA update again...

Prior to the failed manual update I was getting the message that no updates were available like everyone else...

Not sure what impact the manual update had on triggering the OTA update but for sure it downloaded the file again via WiFi.
[Desire General] g1nu:
Me too :D:D:D:D:D
[Desire General] Thugsin313:
Downloading the update OTA, checked it manually and it was there :)
[Desire General] g1nu:
Not update froyo 2.09... Ota!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My telephone crash and reboot always!!!

Htc you are unbelievable!

is this a big company?

I hate HTC!!!
[Desire General] Owendavies:
I checked this afternoon and downloaded it over HSDPA (unlimited data plan :) ) but battery was low, so at least I've got it, just need to install, AT LAST!!!

Wohoo!
[Desire General] stu83:
Going from your signature I take it your on o2 with a o2 supplied Desire? I got my Desire from o2 but have a T-Mobile SIM in it and there is no update for me :(
[Desire General] nasimdejai:
just checked and whoopy!!!!!the update's available on my unbranded,unlocked and unrooted desire.now i can do an update to froyo
[Desire General] antu_pogroms:
What about Asia? Is froyo available for Asia yet?
[Desire General] chamonix:
Same here, it took me 30 min. for the whole update including reboot and reconfiguration from 3G. Only glitch was with HTC IME Mod but it's a known issue.
[Desire General] nasimdejai:
The GPS lock issue has bee resolved and it looks like everything else works apart from being able to move apps to SDcard."Move to SDcard is being greyed out".Why did HTC leave that out?
[Desire General] purple_daVe:
ignore me, sods law despite trying everything for over an hour

as soon as i post for help it resolves itself :)
[Desire General] al89nut:
They didn't. It's up to the App Developer whether you can move an app or not.
[Desire General] nasimdejai:
oh,right.cheers for the clarification.
[Desire General] g1nu:
And now my htc desire is update to froyo!!!!

Wow!

I love you htc! :D :D :D
[Desire General] berre:
I see the update too but before doing the upgrade I would like to verify if HTC has solved the mentionned issues... anybody any idea about that?
