I think you can download the ROM via PC and flash it then with your Recovery!

Should work, but not sure..

I get a fingerprint error then it aborts with E:error in /sdcard/updates.zip

Status 7

Do I need to root my phone to update manaully?
[Desire General] Palidhje:
same here -.-
[Desire General] rackspace:
I am not sure what is problem :(

I have tried the above method my self. And every thing ended out great.

The only problem I faced was failure to upgrade due to low disk space. I deleted some apps and tried to install it again. It worked with out any further issue.

You can make sure that you DONOT touch the zip file. DONOT even open or extract it, just download it and transfer to SD Card.
[Desire General] Palidhje:
That's what I did. Just downloaded, changed name and copied it to sd. :S

I'll try deleting some apps.
[Desire General] beemerTPPC:
Same error here. Maybe because mine is vodafone
[Desire General] rackspace:
YESS ....

This might be the issue. My desire is not operator locked. May be you guys have branded phones, thats why this ROM is Not for you.
[Desire General] sebaztian:
Have you tried this method?

To manually update the phone

1. Download the official firmware update.

2. Copy the file to your microSD card and name it update.zip (newb warning: not update.zip.zip)

3. Power off your phone.

4. Hold down the VOLUME DOWN button and power it back on.

5. The phone will now search for files like PB00IMG.zip, etc. This is normal. Scroll down to recovery and press the POWER button.

6. When you see the /!\ symbol, press the POWER button and the Volume Up button at the same time. You should be presented with a menu and one of the options should be "Apply sdcard:update.zip".

7. Use the trackball to navigate to "apply sdcard:update.zip" and select it.

8. When you see "Install from sdcard complete", select "reboot system now".

[Desire General] flightposite:
I got the same error message. Could it be that my Build Number is 1.19.707.7?

I believe the Zip file, before being renamed to update.zip, contains a different Build.

It is 1.21...

I am using a Desire in Singapore. Any idea why the OTA is only available in European countries?
[Desire General] gnolihp:
Me too bro, I am from Singapore also. trying to do it manual got error status 7 also.
[Desire General] pablo_max:
Hmmm I guess that's possible, but I can't find any branding on it. It looks stock to me. No hint of anything carrier related.

I was thinking to perform the debranding anyhow, but I dont have a card reader to make the goldcard thing.

This really sucks.

I buy an unbranded, unlocked phone and still get screwed in the end.
[Desire General] Kickasskev:
Yeah thats why these roms that are out now are for the unbranded phones, us with the branded phones have to wait untill htc add the different features for each operator, orange is the worst they have tons of crap scattered around there phones, 02 only has splash screen.
[Desire General] rackspace:
Some people has installed unbranded ROMs and then upgraded to FROYO. Search around the forum for that.
[Desire General] Hands0n:
I am having trouble with the OP instructions, see the attached screen grab.

I am trying to use the official OTA to update from 2.1-update1 (rooted) to Froyo 2.2 and am using a Gold Card to try and get over the signature verification issues.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to what else to try please?
[Desire General] Gibeon:
I was on a Vodafone branded ROM and couldn't update to froyo before I flashed a unbranded rom with some goldcard help.

It's updating to froyo now, in recovery mode.:)

BTW: I made the gold card by using my old Omnia as card reader, went fine.
[Desire General] JonGH:
Didn't work for me unfortunately. Downloaded on phone using XDA app to get to the link then moved and renamed using Astro file manager. Everything worked as described till I got the same error as mentioned earlier.

Im using a black Desire on Orange, it was originally branded Orange with all their crap apps etc but I used a gold card and the Modaco rom to debrand and remove these. My software version is 1.15.

Any suggestions?
[Desire General] ortonnorth:
Finger print error

I have had the finger print error while I was turning back form 2.2 custom ROM to original HTC 2.1. I've found that you need to use the SD card with golden card image on it(so in fact your golden card). That resolved the fingerprint error issue in my case. But that will work only for unbranded devices.

update

hi guys

i wanted to do this but im a abit worried

im from south africa

when i went to check for updates on the fone it found the new update

but my wifi is too slow to download the 90mbs

i checked the name of the update that the fone wanted to download via wifi

its exactly the same as the one i can download from your first post

so i dont think i should have any problems?

if i get an error

will it brick my fone? or wil my 2.1 stil work fine?

jus downloaded the update

want to do it via the steps provided

jus concerned ppl having problems?

do i need to backup any information?will my data b wiped off?
[Desire General] wihandw:
When i try manual upgrade it says verification failed, any ideas on how to fix it? Have a debranded phone.
[Desire General] mayurh:
i did it manually and it worked 100%

i did confirm tho that the file from this threads first link is the same as my fone wanted to download:)
[Desire General] riesel:
Thank you worked very well, only had problems in step 1 where I had to start several times because he did not pass the message "Waiting Bootloader". But it was because of the Antivirus and Firewall, after I hung up both worked.

Just a question, step 1 (Unlocking) needs a Goldcard? This .exe does not do the update alone? If you do not need this STEP the process can simplify this step 1 + OTA, or?
[Desire General] ashleenaidoo:
That Link / URL appears to be down. Do you perhaps still have the file, which I can get from you please?
[Desire General] jamesakabob:
The link in the very first post definately still works and the instructions are spot on, I just used it to update my unlocked phone after waiting for an OTA update that never came!

All in all about 10 minutes from starting to download the update to watching BBC iplayer on my sexified Desire ;p

Thanks to all that have helped on this thread, much appreciated :D

same here, verification failed, debranded phone
[Desire General] Sampler:
Thanks for this, got an unbranded phone last Tuesday and couldn't wait to get the OTA update (have hit the system update check button three-four times a day since getting it) as didn't want to fiddle too much with it until it was updated - just come from WinMo (TouchPro2) and firmware updates for that wiped the system though I believe, as with a lot of things, it's quite different in android land - so far I'm liking my stay ;)

All homescreens, contacts, apps, customisation, wifi passwords - everything is still stored and all the shiny updates are on there too - love it; now to start playing :D

(Unbranded Desire A8181 with an EAN barcode using a UK Vodafone contract sim)
[Desire General] lureon:
I had the same problem, was because my current version was 1.15 but it needed to be 1.21. Fixed it by installing the 1.21 RUU (from ShippedRoms), then following the method in this post.

Just a warning, the RUU resets to factory state, so backup before.
[Desire General] Bashar .:
I am on 1.21.405.2 and still getting signature verification failed
[Desire General] vrsTankist:
Have just successfully updated to Froyo!!!!! Finally! really happy!

What I did...

1. Originally I had 1.21.405.1 rooted unbranded (bought in Belarus but dont know the original country).

2. Some time ago decided to get update over the air. For that I needed to unroot. So used RUU 1.21.405.2 not-rooted (without goldcard).

3. Still had a problem with update not available through air.

4. Spent some time to find anything useful but failed. Couple of days ago even created a gold card using my SD, but stuck with the 404 error for FROYO update link (could not download update.zip ).

5. Currently dont know - today my SD is a goldcard or not :). But I just used steps from the first post and SUCCEEDED!!!

Thats to all the the conversation.
[Desire General] promptneutron:
Can you do this on a branded phone? I'm with O2 who drag a$$ when it comes to releasing updates..?
[Desire General] zlobniy:
just followed these steps and ...

got rebooting my Desire every 4 minutes:

after rebooting on last step of that instruction my phone starts to installing (or configuring) something just right after loading OS.

it takes about 4 minutes and stops at 98% of overall progress.

while installing i've got a message that process 'system' is not responding and two buttons : kill the process and wait. doesnt matter what to press or not or press nothing. nothing helps.

so at 98% of some progress (installing or configuring) i'm getting restart of my Desire and everything repeats....

what should i do ?

can i rollback everything to 2.1 at least?

p.s.: reinstalling throw this instruction doesnt help also

abit more info: while OS is loaded and progress is going on 1) phone cant see a sim-card, 2) im sure that 2.2 almost installed (coz i saw an usb-tething in menu), and general 3) usb-connection unavailble now (sync, usb-teth and so on) : not the phone, nor PC cant see eachother

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheesebanana:
if i debrand my uk tmobile desire with a goldcard and a 1.21etc ruu, will it network lock me?

hearing conflicting reports on this.

just going to debrand today if possible, so i can get OTA 2.2. not interested in custom roms or root at all.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcarreiro:
I just debranded my T-Mobile Desire with RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.

No problems. Should have backed up my settings and data, because installing the ROM will clear everything, but it's worth it just to get 2.2.

After that froyo showed up when pressing check for updates.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rico8787my:
I debranded my phone from orange.

My network got locked. However, I just need to pay 7.99 GBP to buy a code from an Ebayer and I got the phone unlocked in 5 mins.

So i think it is not a problem to debrand.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I RICHY I:
Are you guys able to upgrade to FroYo now? I'll be debranding and installing a debranded 2.1 when I get home.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rico8787my:
Yes. Already installed and using it now! =D
[Desire Accessories] sh500:
As per subject really.

I've currently got a gel type case, does the job as it should, but you only realise how much bigger it makes the phone look when you take it off (!)

The only 'slim' case I've seen is the barely there (in my opinion it is clearly there!).

I know the iphone 3Gs has an extremly slim, transparent case, that covers all for edges of the phone. Now that one is a true 'barely there' case!

Anything similar out there for the Deisre?
[Desire Accessories] Kameo:
AFAIK there's nothing slimmer than the "barely there".

I ordered an ebay (way cheaper) version of the Barely There because it looked great and also have a sick design.

A lot a members said it's thin and dope (yes, the case is on... even if you can't really see it, hence the name :D).

It even comes with an extra screen protector so you don't have to worry about screen scratches.

Check it out here, scroll down for other colors (7 of them):

http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250663722867&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
[Desire Accessories] sh500:
Yep, I've seen these on eBay too, I wasn't overly concerned about getting it cheaper but more for the points I described in my original post- i.e something that covers all four edges (with cut outs) and it needs to be transparent.
[Desire Accessories] :
Please be careful with the cheap ebay ones. Bought one for my girlfriends blackberry, but the dye used to colour the case rubbed off on her hand and face, and eventually permanently stained her phone.

Cheap cases are rarely worth it.
[Desire Accessories] philje123:
I too was in the same situation as you. Had a gel case but still wanted the phone to be slimmer.

So I bought one of these. The full body one:

http://www.bestskinsever.com/htc-desire-skin

It's very good and can put it in my pocket and not worry and not be bothered about putting it down on hard surfaces too. The only thing is doesn't offer is protection from being dropped.

Phil
[Desire Accessories] Kameo:
Ok, so received all of them yesterday and they're great.

Unlike what wnp_79, there's no problem with them, no dye, really great touch feeling.

I won't pay 15 or 20 euros, from companies who are buying then same stuff from HK and then selling it back 10 times higher.

I paied 6 euros for 2 cases and they're great :D

Hard slim case + 1x screen protector:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250663722867&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Flexigrip soft case + 1x screen protector:

http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270586284031&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
[Desire Accessories] sh500:
I think it because of the two tone of the Desire (light grey on top and dark grey on the bottom) that makes the 'barely there' cases stand out a bit too much.

I suppose if there was transparent one available, I'd give it a go.

EDIT: Oh this seems promising:

Hi,

I don't see "Adobe Flash 10.1" in the application list.

However, it is there (Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All).

Flash version is 10.1.72.7.

I remembered that we need to download from the Market.

But, I cannot find it in the Market either.

Is this a problem?

Note: I cannot find option "Load Flash" in the browser!
[Desire General] jpxdude:
Adobe Flash 10.1 is preinstalled on the HTC FroYo rom it seems. In the browser, if you press Menu, then Options, there should be a Plugins option, which refers to Flash, but doesn't says so, you can have it off, on or On Demand.
[Desire General] dereck66:
