HTC Desire HD Android 2.3 Update
- Thread starter ppaajjaa
- Start date
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.
Finally found that newer Orange RUU
http://www.iloveabath.co.uk/index.php?dir=RUUs/
1.84 is in the list.
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...

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.
Ive got the same problem with 2.2!

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!
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

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

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.
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
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
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?

Hopefully that makes more sense to you than it does to me!2The scrolling in all apps is not sluggish, but it is changed. Before you were scrolling all the applications and now the apps are divided in pages and you scroll one page at a time.
Just a matter of habit. Some people complain about this because they are used to the old style. Give it some time. I don't have problem with it because all my apps are in folders on a home screen and did not use it much - so no old habit.
