HTC Desire :: Phone Wont Do Update?
Sep 10, 2010
I had an O2 branded Desire since the O2 release, but for some reason when It tried to update to the latest firmware it went completely corrupt, I tried to restore it but with no luck. Eventually rather than messing around I rang O2 and had them send me a new phone (business insurance made sure I got it next day, no questions asked). But since getting my new phone it wont find the update and is running the old OS.
I'm on:
Firmware 2.1-update1
Software 1.20.207.3
Iv tried searching for the update but it finds nothing, could it be because my SD card is from my previous phone?

If you've rooted your Desire and an OTA update comes and you update- o your root changes get over-written What if you're on a different ROM- where does the OTA update to in your phone...and what affect will it have?

I just received my HTC Desire. Even though Ive had it for less than a day, I've really fallen in love with it. And this is my first android phone, so I have a lot of questions to ask (I came off of Windows Mobile). I bought the phone unlocked and brand new from amazon: Amazon.com: HTC A8181 Desire Unlocked Quad-Band GSM Phone with Android OS, HTC Sense UI, 5 MP Camera, Wi-Fi and gps navigation--International Version with Warranty (Brown): Cell Phones & Accessories: Reviews, Prices & more I live in the United States and I am using AT&T. Does this mean I can just hit "update" when I see the notification to update? I don't plan on rooting any time soon as I don't want to risk doing something stupid in the process and bricking my phone.

I have a desire from vf uk. it was one of the first ones with no real branding but does not qualify for the 2.2 update. luckily i havent updated to the new vf firmware. my question is, is there an easy way to unlock my handset so i can use htcs own 2.2 update? i no there are plenty of threads on this topic but they always assume people understand all the terms and it becomes confusing! i don't no my hboot from my bootloader or goldcard? it would be great if anyone could point me towards a guide written in plain easy to follow and explaind steps, m no novice to mobile tech but a programmer im not! i cant be the only one. so is there a way to make the phone update ota to htcs own 2.2 froyo?

I am having a problem with my Desire's GPS, I am running the official Orange 2.2 Update and ever since the update my Desire won't pick up my GPS location. It displays the GPS icon in the notification bar but whenever I use Maps or Navigation (Google) it constantly displays 'Searching for GPS'. This is my 2nd Desire as I lost my original, and I do not remember even trying the GPS before the update (due to it being so close to the update release), so I don't know if it is the update or a fault. I would like to know if anyone else has had an issue with this, I know Voda had a similar issue with their update, and how you fixed it. I have tried removing the battery, SIM and SD card but I haven't tried a factory reset yet. I am also wondering if there is a debranded ROM I can flash without rooting in which I could revert back to the original if I needed to send it back to HTC. I am pretty sure this device is SLCD as I can notice the difference from my original AMOLED model.

I have an issue with my desire, as alot of people have reported my battery life has taken a significant hit since the 2.2 update. Prior to the update i was getting about 2 days usage out of the phone, its now struggling to last a day at times and by that i mean about 8-10 hours. I think there is an application or process that is stopping my phone from sleeping and i was wondering if you could help identify and then fix it if possible? Also, one of the things i have noticed is that my applications have started updating automatically...prior to 2.2 update I would get notified but could chose whether or not to download them...is there any way i can revert the phone back to the original state?

The phone is the htc desire, it's unlocked but not unbranded from t-mobile and currently with o2. I got the OTA for 2.2 and didn't update it because the last time i updated it caused my wifi to fork up meaning my first two weeks of owning a desire meant waiting for it to come back from HTC repair.
Adding salt to the wound, it came back locked meaning I had to fork out another tenner to unlock again. So question! does anyone have experience of updating to 2.2 on an unlocked but branded phone (on Tmobile). Will it lock the phone again?

I got a notification today about the Froyo update being available (yay!) but was in the middle of something so hit cancel, thinking I could get it later. But I can't work out how to!
It did say that the phone would check again at the next scheduled time so I can download it then if need be - but does anyone know how to make the phone check before then?

After a recent trip away I have come back and the HTC clock widget does not update to the current location... it is stuck on 'United Kingdom' instead of my current location...
As a test I went for a drive today and whist 'Latitude' showed where I was, the google home page still showed the wrong location, and HTC widget still showed just 'United Kingdom'...
This has just got me stumped..

I have the HTC Desire unlocked here in the US. I'm using AT&T as my network, and everything works fine. I do not want to root my phone. I want the upcoming Froyo 2.2 update, and I have seen that it is soon available for Vodafone. This confuses me. I am wondering -- will HTC release the new OS on their website, and I can just download and install it myself?

I have an X10 Mini that when new was locked to the Orange UK network but I have since unlocked (but not unbranded) it and now use a different network. Which Android 2.1 update will I need? Generic, Orange or the new network provider? If it is the generic one will this also have the benefit of unbranding the phone and getting rid of Orange apps? If it is the Orange upgrade will the phone become locked to their network again and require unlocking again?I need the phone to stay unlocked for the future.

I updated the phone to 2.1 earlier, but it's still at 1.6... when I connected to PC Companion prior to the 'update' it said my phone was up-to date so I'm convinced I didn't actually update anything?
When should I be prompted that an update is available via PC Companion? because when I look in the phone settings and check for updates it says there's one available, but not on PCC?

I just purchased my HTC Desire, its Factory unlocked and I just want to confirm the latest version of the device. mine is
Firmware Version: 2.1 update 1
Software Number: 1.21.405.2
also when froyo does come officially, will I be able to use OTA to install it? as the device I am using is not from my region, I believe it is from the UK and I'm using in Dubai - will this affect the OTA?

I am hoping that there are a couple of experts out there cause I have a problem. I have an HTC Desire, which should have the OTA update for froyo available. instead it has a different update which is 27.07 MB in size, which won't install.I believe this is blocking my froyo update since my Desire is Sim unlocked, non branded and rooted. The problem with the 27.07mb update is that it downloads but won't install (you first get the green installing icon but then changes to the same icon but the with a red question mark) So I was wondering if there is any other way of getting that froyo update on my phone or somehow getting it OTA.

I have a TMobile handset which I debranded with this Edit: I don't know if it is the norm but I can only install the above rom when I have my gold card in. So, I downloaded and installed 2.2 earlier. Well, it should have been that easy but mine wasn't My phone tried to updated but kept getting stuck in a loop. It'd get to about 87% and the phone would reboot. After about 6 attempts I bravely took the battery out and rebooted. When the phone did finally reboot it had 2.2 on the but not everything it needed. I had no wifi and no phone signal. To solve this I reinstalled the 1.21 in the link above, entered all the necessary info and then BEFORE I installed any apps I did a manual update and it worked. I can only assume it was down to an app but not sure which one. I am no back up and running thanks to appbrain and my backup I haven't lost anything.

I've got a HTC Desire from O2 UK and it's got O2 splash screen when it loads, but I believe it's unlocked. Here are the following details it's on:
Firmware Version - 2.1-update1
Baseband Version - 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
Kernal Version - 2.6.29-c8d11160 htc-kernal@and18-2 #1
Build Number - 1.20.207.3 CL171460 release-keys
Software Number - 1.20.207.3
Browser Version - Webkit 3.1
Boot Loader - 0.80
Earlier on today, I ran ?Unrevoked3" on Linux, which "rooted" my phone. It added an extra option called "Superuser Permissions", but the O2 branding when phone is turned on remains, and the numbers above stayed the same. Now I tried to load a new ROM, but they all bring up the errors below. I have tried loads of different ones. I have plenty of free space on my SD card and have renamed some to update.zip, but still no luck. One seemed like it went through, but straight after an animation of a cross played on the screen, with different colours, and this wouldn't go away even after a restart............
