I have a unbranded HTC Desire. I'm still on 2.1 which I rooted 3 months ago. I'm wondering on updating to froyo and keep root. I'm not interested in any custom rom's, I like stock one. The only thing I rooted at first is to install my app's on SD instead of internal memory. My device specs are:
Os: 2.1-update1
Baseband: 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11
Sw: 1.15.405.4
HBOOT: 0.75.0000

I've uploaded a pre-rooted version of HTC's latest ROM. This is basically stock with root, except I've disabled the annoying boot sound.It includes radio 5.09.05.30_2.To install you must be rooted with custom recovery. A full wipe shouldn't be necessary if you're currently on an official rom, since this isn't modified from stock. Do a nandroid backup before you install.There's no changelog from 2.09.405.8, but I've noticed my GPS problems went away.

- you may never be able to root again
- stock froyo apps2sd is very bad comparedto rooted a2sd+
- rooted roms based on the stock froyo rom will be faster and more stable than stock
Just wondering which kernel - in terms of performance and battery life would be the best to use with teppics rooted stock froyo rom.
I'm currently using this kernel with the sd card read fix and gpu+ fix but I'm wondering if theres something thats better in terms of performance and battery life.

I've heard many good things about richards v5 kernel but I don't want to OC or do anything crazy. I just need the sd card read fix... maybe the gpu+ fix and no OCing as I do want to keep my battery life as is.
OTA 2.2 Stock Froyo Update (Rooted) - xda-developers
View 7 Replies View RelatedAll files needed are available on my web site: Android - whiterabbit.org unless you still need to root your phone or downgrade to 2.0.1, the files needed for that will be linked to from those guides. The purpose of installing this way is to use the original OTA updates from Google, and only modify them enough to have root access. When you are done, you will have a system that is capable of installing the next OTA (gingerbread) when it arrives. Hopefully we will be able to patch it in the same way to keep root. This is only for people who don't want to run custom roms, but still want to have root.

Received the upgrade from Telstra Australia today for my Desire. I'm not very good with the tech and software side of things (quite a dunce really) and have looked for a guide as to what to do prior to installing the update and also once completed. Is anyone able to steer me in the right direction as to where a good guide is or maybe a few pointers. My phone isn't rooted and is not something I want to gamble with being not techsavvy.
View 2 Replies View RelatedYesterday, I finally decided to root my phone and flash an android 2.2 'with Sense' ROM. I followed this guide: How To: Install Froyo On An HTC Desire | I Can Has Pi?
I used the 2.2 Sense ROM recommended by the guide. Everything was going really well, but once the proses was over I saw some things that instantly made me wish I had never bothered rooting:
-I have a VERY low internal memory; no room for half my backed-up apps, no room for SMS, no room to take a low resolution photo(let alone 720p video!), and not even room to browse my photos or music(I know-weird...)!
-Some apps (like the HTC MOD keyboard with voice input) simply don't work.
-Slow boot and load HTC Sense.
-Programs force-close very often, as dose HTC Sense.
There are some good things in this ROM (like a slight increase in performance) but really, the bad outweighs the good- especially with the low storage, considering that the main reason I rooted was to get more space for apps!
I don't know what to do now. Is there a solution within the ROM I'm using at the moment? Or did I just use a crappy ROM. Which can you recommend (Froyo w/Sense)? Unrooting seems quite easy, or is that dumb now that I've gone through the trouble of rooting? I can't be without receiving SMS for much longer!
Hubby has a sim free Desire bought about 3 months ago from ebay.
I debranded my own desire with the goldcard method, and then using the unrevoked method i rooted my phone.
Hubby updated his Desire over the air to 2.2
Has an easy method to root this 2.2 update been created yet.
Didn't mind taking a chance with my phone, but not with someone elses!
I updated to the official (rooted) version of Froyo and tried to reinstall Sling player but it's just not on the market. My wife can find it on her 2.1 handset but I can't. Is there a reason for this that I'm not privy to? Will the backed-up copy work?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAs it says above really. I've rooted to the new Froyo with sense release (seems slow but stable) and all was well until I restored with mybackup pro. Some apps were missing even though they showed as installed and even so, I've got A LOT less internal memory than before and I'm still having to uninstall stuff
I thought Froyo was supposed to let you install apps to SD?
Ive got my phone rooted and have a goldcard but the only rom ive been able to find is an alpha version. Is there by some chance a stock HTC rom with sense?the unbranded desires already have 2.2 right?

He's called 'em up to upgrade, got a mint deal but now has to wait to receive a text to tell him that they are in stock (Like that is ever going to arrive He's been told that they receive them on an add hoc basis, sometimes 10, sometimes 700. Sounds a bit slack if you ask me. Does anyone think that there is a connection between a delayed Froyo release and low stock? Don't forget that they were blaming stock shortages on the success of the Galaxy S because it slowed down the production of the HTC as Samsung apparently manufacture the screens for both. wish I could treat my customers like this

View 2 Replies View RelatedLong time lurker and fan of the forums. I recently rooted my stock 2.2 Evo with 3.21 and it's awesome. Except I noticed I now have a very weak wifi signal. I would say it is a 50 to 75% drop.
Places my iPad has full signal my Evo can barely keep a connection. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as I'm out of ideas.
Can someone redirect me to a link to download 1.47.651.1 (rooted) stock ROM? I used Toast method of rooting. If there isn't a ROM out yet, will there be any?. how would I go about using unrevoked with latest OTA patch? Will I have to unroot, then use Unrevoked?
I did not break root by installing the latest OTA patch...
Basically, I like the look and feel (and stability) of a stock rom, and the only real reason I'd like root access is for wireless tethering (and maybe Titanium Backup).
I got my Evo on the day it was released, and rooted using unrevoked3 back in July. Only after doing that did I realize that unrevoked3 sometimes causes some problems because it's not a full root.
I did not accept the OTA 2.2 because, even though I was OK losing root and then re-rooting whenever 2.2 could be rooted, I saw that people trying to accept the OTA over unrevoked3 were having major problems. I waited around for something that seemed to be a good, stable stock rooted 2.2 rom, and finally flashed it a few days ago. This is the ROM that I used: [ROM] UPDATED 9/8 Froyo 2.2, v3.28.651.6 │Rooted│ DeOdexed RevF1 - xda-developers.
I used Clockwork (because I couldn't figure out how to get Amon Ra) to do a wipe of data and cache, and the flash the ROM and radio/WiMax. I restored everything with Titanium, and it generally has been functional. However, I'm having the following problems:
1) The battery is draining at an alarming rate -- about 10% per hour, and I have the seidio 3500 battery. Before flashing, I was losing about 3% per hour.
2) It seems to be often trying to sync my Google contacts and getting hung up. I believe I have greatly reduced this problem by installing a Gmail patch today that was posted in the thread in which I got the ROM.
3) The 3G, CDMA, and Wimax signals are all noticeably weaker than they were pre-flash.
So basically, I'm not sure where to go from here. I don't know if there's anyway I can do a full root/unlock NAND now (which might be the culprit). I also don't know how I can use Amon Ra instead of Clockwork (which might be the culprit). All I'm trying to do, as I said, is get a stable, rooted 2.2 ROM with the same battery life and signal strength I had before.
I rooted my phone with 2.1-update, with upgraded baseband, a 1.0ghz kernel, and a bugless beast V1.1 theme.Can I just download a 2.2 froyo rom directly and then be fine? or do I have to do other things when upgrading from 2.1 to froyo?
