Guest Calamity James Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Those of you on T-Mobile UK that don't want to stray from the official software may have to wait a bit though: Hello tweety peeps , just a quick FYI for all you Desire owners. We are aiming to roll out 2.2 in September but we cannot give an exact datehttp://twitter.com/TmobileUKhelp/status/19907842414 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CaspaTheGhost Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I have a originally Orange branded handset. I made it generic (not rooted) and a little while back performed the OTA update to 1.21.405.2 but I was one of the unlucky ones to get the wrong radio version as the handset was still locked to Orange. I lost wifi!! I then unlocked the handset via one of the HTC unlock code sites and my handset is now generic and unlocked as far as network is concerned. My question is, should I be able to install the OTA update if it is offered to me, without any issues?? Regards David Should be cool.... in theory... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ianm2k4 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) Should be cool.... in theory... :( OK how about this.. I have/had a branded Orange UK, I rooted it put on r5 and the recommended radio and all works well. Could I put on the generic rom with the same radio and expect it to upgrade ok? Suppose a Nand backup would allow me to go back if it fails? Edited July 30, 2010 by ianm2k4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest klutsh Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 If the leaked 2.2 is anything to go by the update will have a new HBOOT unrooting and accepting the OTA you risk the chance of NEVER rooting again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noobs pay attention. Modaco/XDA doesn't need 20000 threads asking how to unbrick/root/unroot/upgrade...etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest iceatcs Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Been there before, so I won't believe it will coming this weekend. Even their words or official PR won't do to me. Blame HTC for muck up around so many times. At least I stick with my r6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest StuMcBill Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Thanks, I think i'll risk it if I get it OTA then :-) Just remember that you may NEVER be able to root in the future if you apply the OTA. I know you have not rooted just now, but I think updating your HBOOT would be a bad idea anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kav Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Any luck yet? Anyone? Apparently no one got it yet. :( but its guaranteed that every one has been abusing this check for update button since 0:01 today.

Guest skinnypupp Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I wonder if they base the update on IP, and thus they may not send the update to me here in Hong Kong. We shall see I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post has been seen on XDA; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740037 Does anyone care to comment on the validity of this post? It's 100% valid. The thought crossed my mind to unroot, too. The downside could be pretty severe- that means a smaller chance of getting 3.0 or later version for a handset that will likely be able to function with future versions.

Guest loney01843 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 im wondering how the itunes sync is going to work. hopefully the desire would show up up like an apple device would and you will be able to transfer playlists over directly. i have a lot of friends who have iphones who laugh at the desires lack of itunes style music sync software support. so they can put this in their crackpipe and smoke it! :( oh yeah, wont apple have a big problem with this because it pretty much kills one of their biggest selling points. easy music sync. discuss!

Guest merlin051 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I have an orange branded desire thats been de-branded using the goldcard method, currently on 1.15.405.4 am i going to need to update to 1.21.405.2 before i can install 2.2 if it ever becomes OTA ? The reason i stayed on 1.15 was because of all the issues other people had with the orange radio stack and loosing wifi/3g after de-branding.

I sure hope that the desire will be getting the same treatment. by the by, has anyone used this app share widget that htc is supposedly porting to desire. apparently its from the wildfire. i tried a google search but im still unsure as to what it actually does and the benefits of it.
