HTC Desire software update

[Lostprophet]

I have been asked to load 2.2? Any ideas?

From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.
Scroll down the screen, and then tap About phone > System software updates.
On the System software updates screen, tap Check now.

If it's avaliable for your phone/carrier it will do the update

You can apply it manually by following these steps:

Backup anything you need, in case of problems

Download this file and put it on your sdcard - http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_HTC_EU_2.10.405.2-...

Rename the file to 'update.zip' (ensure it is not update.zip.zip)

Power down the phone

Start the phone in recovery (press vol down and power together, then select recovery)
After recovery loads press vol up and power together

Select to apply update.zip

Or if your carrier has not released 2.2 you can install the generic HTC ROM using a goldcard

Be aware you MUST keep your gold card (or recreate it) as it must be in the phone when you do an future upgrades. The benefit of the generic htc software is it has no carrier bloatware and your upgrades will be avaliable as soon as htc release them

Edit:- Changed the link

Probably best to stick with this one unless. Only try the otehr methods if it doesn't work and you really need that 2.2 goodness

It is updated to 2.17.61.2

the manual update is also very easy to do, it won't apply if it's the wrong software!!
