Once someone confirms that GingerBreak is working with the OTA you should be fine. Will root and then you can backup.

There is an OLD Orange UK RUU here:

http://zantekk.de/~desire_hd/official_roms/

There is a more recent RUU out there somewhere, if I find it I will post back.
[Desire HD General] m7svk:
I keeped original apk just in case, and is working fine ;)
[Desire HD General] 8igdave:
Cheers man! Thanks for the help. I'm pretty new to it all so trying to work it all out. I find these forums can be quite unhelpful to people that don't know a lot of the basics.

updated to 2.3 but have one problem now :(

Picasa plugin from HTC did force close every time i started it. after uninstalling and installing again it's working but it's asking for account even i have an gmail account already installed and picasa sync.

Using the unlocked and vodafone UK branded DHD here in India...

installed gingerbread about 12 hours earlier... Didn't back up or anything and it worked great...

the phone now feels smoother to use....

the battery life seems to have increased.. with mediocre usage and a full charge about 10 hours ago the battery is still charged at 80%...

faced issue with picasa force closing... re-installation and resyncing worked fine though...

Ive got the same problem with 2.2!
[Desire HD General] :
Hey guys, ive never been able to do a FOTA, but atm im on 1.72 unbranded, so im excited when this finally (hopefully) lets me do it, im assuming the update is for the android version and not the build number, if so

it would explain alot due to the phone being on 2.2.1 since ive brought it

its friday here in perth, so ill raise my glass tonight and hopefully we will get this update soon!

Out of warranty/not worried about voiding it? Install one of the many roms and get optimized 2.3 Gingerbread without the wait!

Used to frustrate me to no end that I couldn't get updates on my old N97 when everyone else was. If only I'd know about roms back then!
[Desire HD General] dirk123456:
Bump.

Still didn't find a solution. Any ideas?
[Desire HD General] -Silverarrows-:
Would anyone have an idea on how to gain root access after this update?

Gingerbreak doesn't work, probably because I'm S-ON, but I don't really know how to proceed and which tools to use to root my device now that I'm on 2.3.3

Thanks in advance for any help :)
[Desire HD General] Jay300zx:
Well, mine is now updated, downloaded the RUU_ACE_GINGERBREAD_S_HTC_WWE_2.36.405.8_R_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_187331_signed.exe file from a mirror and ran it from my PC. (Make sure phone is plugged into pc and is on charge - not sync or disk drive)

It says it wipes your phone, it does, however it doesnt wipe your SD card as I still have all photos and music.

Now running 2.3.3 - Unrooted with a Radio of 2.36.405.8

Very happy
[Desire HD General] Mr_JMM:
IF, big IF it can be done you would have to see if downgrading using a gold card works.

Again, IF it is possible.

Question begs to be asked, since there was already a rooted version of the GB RUU why did you go with the OTA and risk not being able to root?

Sent using witchcraft via XDA Developers Premium App.
[Desire HD General] -Silverarrows-:
Well I'd say I'm not quite familiar with flashing Roms and everything .. I was using Visionary for the root access, and I'd say that is all I needed.

I'd really like to try different things even custom roms, but I'm a little bit lost between all the different steps when you flash (Clockworkmod, Hboot S-off, etc ..) that's why I was asking if someone knew a simple way to get root on this official Rom :)
[Desire HD General] mateash2002:
did the same thing and Google restored most of the things that i had before, including all apps and even the wallpaper. a few things bother me tho:

- when i use advanced task killer it says i have 217 ram free, whereas before i had about 340

- i use the music lover skin but now it doesn't include the browser and some other things

- i seem to get a lot of error messages and sense force closes quite often
[Desire HD General] talhamid:
Have a Vodafone branded unlocked phone here in Pakistan.

Received the OTA update yesterday. Everything works fine except for the messaging app which force closes everytime I open it. Tried wiping and reinstalling all apps, tried deleting all messages, still no luck. Handcent works fine though. Anyone else having this problem?
[Desire HD General] brandnewant:
I'm a bit confused. I have an unbranded DHD, which I bought through Vodafone. (I believe they were running low on stock in the beginning when I ordered so my handset was unbranded).

I have sw version 1.72.405.3 and can't see an update yet. What confuses me is Voda's announcement that the update is available for everyone who bought through them - clearly it's not.

So - if my handset is unbranded (even though bought through Vodafone) should I wait for the HTC released update or will Vodafone release it to me?
[Desire HD General] njay-uk:
You will end up with 2.36.405.8 i.e. HTC unbranded one.

However, wether this needs vodaphone to add yours (any other unbranded ones to the servers dealing with the unbranded phones) who knows as I am in the same situation, albeit my unbranded DHD was supplied on a contract by T-Mobile UK.
[Desire HD General] punk19:
Since your phone is Unbranded.. i believe you will have to wait until HTC releases the update...

Vodafone releases updates only for the branded phones...
[Desire HD General] chiel54:
For those who use Sygic Aura which stopped working after the update to Gingerbread:

- Uninstall the Aura app by using the Android Market (make sure you have automatic updates unchecked)

- place the attached .apk in the Aura folder on your sd card

- run the .apk file

- Aura will be reinstalled and automatically gives a message that it needs an update. Through the Auro downloader the update will be installed

et voila, the Navigation functions as always.

Special note to the service of Sygic: I send them an e-mail this morning, at 1400 I received a personal e-mail with the file attached and a clear description of what to do. Compliments!!!
[Desire HD General] Mavican:
I've got exactly the same problem. Seems like everyone else has had the update but those who got it nearer the launch date are stuffed.
[Desire HD General] 8igdave:
Thanks man, I shall get these downloaded and keep them in a safe place ready for when temproot is comfirmed possible to back up an orange rom.

Big help!
[Desire HD General] iknorr:
If you bought your phone from a network provider and it IS unbranded then its still up to the network provider to complete testing of the update before it is released to their customers.

This is exactly what is happening in Ireland at the mo.

DHD Update problem

Hi Mates.

I've an unbranded DHD from T-mobile here in Slovakia with sw version 1.72.405.3. Yesterday I received the ota update notification but have choosen not to update and install it, because didn't have a backup for the apps and data, so the Android ver. is still 2.2.1.

Today I've made the backups and when I go to the update menu, it says no update is available for you pone jet ! wrrrr....

I talked to T-mobile and they stated, that the updates are administered by HTC.

So have written to HTC regarding this, but until now no answer ... :(

No phone reset, no phone shutdown, no battery out has helped.

Does any one has a suggestion how to solve this ?

THX for help in advance.
[Desire HD General] Mr_JMM:
You wait for the next window usually 24-72 hours. Can take longer depending on network / area.
[Desire HD General] JofreeSco:
Next Window ?

Hi Mr_JMM.

What do you mean with next window ?

You mean that the access to updates depend on geographical areas, to save loads on update servers ?

:eek:
[Desire HD General] Andy:
You will get another invite to upgrade in the "next window". Either that or your phone has been blacklisted by HTC. I mean come on, who refuses an update to Gingerbread?:)
[Desire HD General] Mavican:
Would be nice to get an invite in the first place! Still waiting.
[Desire HD General] Mr_JMM:
I mean that if you decline it, it takes the servers a while to "reset" and mark your phone as one able to receive the update again. That's why you can't get it back whenever you try again. This is a very simplistic answer but the premise is there.
[Desire HD General] Mr_JMM:
To make it worse, don't you have to still agree to the update after it's downloaded or does it automatically install as soon as it's downloaded (been a LONG while since I bothered with such silliness)?
[Desire HD General] sub7er:
@all..hello i have htc desire hd rooted with CM7 rom..i wanna try the latest stock htc official gingerbread rom recently released...is there any way i can get this to install on my desire hd?
[Desire HD General] Mr_JMM:
Yes and better still there is a rooted version of the stock ROM available in the Development forum so you have best of both worlds.

It is EXACTLY the same as the OTA version just released except it is rooted.

BUT

I'd recommend LeeDroid or at least Android Revolution which is closer (both based on the same GB ROM) still but LeeDroid every time for me (when I have my flings with Sense).
[Desire HD General] sub7er:
@mr_JMM..can u plzz post a link or send me thru pvt msg the link for rooted stock gingerbread with sense...thanks alott!

But now I looked at it I don't trust it.

Android Revolution is at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=840040 and that really is as pure as it gets. Without looking in depth and aside form a few apps installed you would not know this wasn't the OTA update.
[Desire HD General] letom:
That's weird because I've declined updates before and have then come up straight away after or again the day later.
[Desire HD General] Mr_JMM:
Yep, varies a lot with Network, location etc. Like I said, normally 24-48 hours.

[Desire HD General] Boomey:
Just upgraded to Gingerbread using an unlocked phone that's semi-branded to Vodafone (I'm not locked to them but I seem to receive updates earlier :D I guess Handtec screwing up my order came out in the end).

Anyone else having strange issues when turning their phones on and off? I turn mine off, then when turning it back on by pressing the power button it doesn't seem to work. I have to hold it, and when I do, the HTC logo flashes for a brief second before skipping to the home screen. Is it a bug or did HTC change it so that you have to hold it down?

Other than that, Gingerbread seems to be working perfectly. Best feature is the improved battery life, worst is what they've done with the app drawer, but the "most used apps" tab is pretty neat. The improved keyboard is just wonderful, too. Seems to recognise my misspellings much better than it did with 2.2.
[Desire HD General] Kiwi_Dude:
Still waiting for the update here in NZ. Currently running stock 1.84 on an unbranded handset which is originally from SG. I'm toying with the idea of rooting (like I did with my n97 mini and my iPhone before that), but there is something holding me back. Perhaps it's the fact the DHD is still under warranty. Anyhow, will wait another day or two and if there's still no update will probably end up rooting! Just hope it's not too difficult, would hate to f*** my phone!
[Desire HD General] +Nybras+:
Yep that is weird because with previous updates I've been able to decline an update and then get the update back straight away many times over and over just to see if I would loose the chance to download when I had got back home from work.

So, from my experience you CAN decline and then expect to get the download back whenever you want (Providing HTC haven't pulled the update, more often than not)

:)
[Desire HD General] Mr_JMM:
Other's differ.

With THIS update and many OTHER'S experience there is very often a delay.

just quick one, just spoke with htc support, update for UK unbranded is now available, it just about when your phone will be hit with update, and I was told this update should be same one like for rest europe for unbranded devices..., then I can't see different between RUU and UK update.. ;)

I wouldn't believe them, why does HTC UK facebook say its not out yet and still in testing? Why has no one in the UK unbranded got it?

[Desire HD General] Mr_JMM:
You can wait until you receive the OTA update (how long is a piece of string but you will get it).

If you want to do it manually you will need to root your phone. browse and search the development forum for the answer to any question you might have how to do this. There's already lot's of guides.

Thats my feeling also, it appears the main step forward for 2.4 (over 2.3) is going to be the support for honeycomb features for single core processors which is kinda vital for most current handsets.
[Desire HD General] ancola66:
I think that Android 2.3 can not come soon with Desire HD, because the all series android mobile forthcoming by HTC is Android 2.2 >>> No upgrade for older device before the new devices are sold
[Desire HD General] nathsgames:
That's what I was thinking about last night, wouldn't Google want the Nexus One to be the first 2.3 handset to market?
[Desire HD General] mjt:
I wasn't talking about business-related mission criticality here. I'm talking about the average Joe who just needs a reliable phone to go about his day-to-day affairs. It's probably not 'mission critical' that one's phone alerts you to the arrival of an SMS, but it's the kind of problem that can cause real difficulties for someone awaiting important information. We really shouldn't be apologists for HTC. The fact is they should be getting these fundamentals right first time, and I think anybody should be able to confidently install an OTA update without it screwing up basic functionality like sms alerts.
[Desire HD General] GingaB:
Why is everybody fussing over Gingerbread it brings nothing to tha table compared to what Froyo brought. But if you want it just for the sake of updating why not take the root option? Its the best thing Ive done there are sooooo many options available!
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
+1 GB is just honeycomb for low end devices. Imo htc mite just skip GB n give us honeycomb when its out, its wt they did with the hero, it came with donut, and they just skipped eclair and waited for froyo :)
[Desire HD General] Fio.hr:
Considering how much money they make, they SHOULD provide their customers with latest and greatest within 1 month of update release. It's not that they can't do it, they don't want to spend a few more $$$ - greedy little bastards! :)
[Desire HD General] BigMango:
Gingerbread brings optimisations and better performance (according to Google).

And no buggy root bull**** for me; no thanks, I have seen all the threads about proximity sensor problems, usb tethering not working, etc... etc... etc... And when you spend hours to get something to work then you flash an update and you have problems again. I need my phone to work and I just don't have the time to "play" with it like this anymore.

Everything on my stock DHD works perfectly (but of course I would still take the performance improvements Goggle is advertising with GB), and Sense is a beautifull UI. Why would I flash something that doesn't work as well as the original?

No thanks, I have spent 2 years flashing roms on my TytnII, that was hours and hours lost trying to fix things and there was always something that didn't work or some bug here or there; and finally always went back to the original HTC rom which worked best.
[Desire HD General] HiddenPooh:
You should really take a look at Revolution HD rom. Same beautiful UI, just better, faster and more stable than any stock rom.
[Desire HD General] BigMango:
Ok I'll take a look.

Do these things work?:

- usb tethering (using the PCs internet connection from the phone and vice versa)

- fastboot
